<P>
A SequenceIterator is used to iterate over a sequence. An AxisIterator
is a SequenceIterator that throws no exceptions, and that always returns
nodes. The nodes should all be in the same document (though there are
some cases, such as PrependIterator, where this is the responsibility of the
user of the class and is not enforced.)
