/// example, Text nodes may not have children, and adding children to such
/// nodes results in a DOMException being raised.
///
/// The attributes nodeName, nodeValue and attributes are included as a mechanism
/// to get at node information without casting down to the specific derived
/// interface. In cases where there is no obvious mapping of these attributes
/// for a specific nodeType (e.g., nodeValue for an Element or attributes for
/// a Comment), this returns null. Note that the specialized interfaces may
/// contain additional and more convenient mechanisms to get and set the relevant
/// information.
///
/// This implementation differs in some ways from the W3C DOM recommendations.
/// For example, the DOM specifies that some methods can return null strings.
/// Instead of null strings, this implementation always returns empty strings.
