+Application programming interface for manipulating the RSE document object model.
+<h2>
+Package Specification</h2>
+<p>
+The package provides classes that define the document object model (DOM)
+for the RSE model objects. The RSE model consists of those objects which are typically 
+presented in the RSE system view. The DOM is created/updated from this model when the model is persisted.
+Persistence providers will use this DOM to write a persistent form.
+Likewise, the persistence provider will update or construct a DOM when restoring a model from its persistent form.
+</p>
