/// 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.
