/**
 * Each instance of the @c daeMetaElement class describes a C++ COLLADA dom
 * element type.
 * @par
 * The meta information in @c daeMetaElement is a combination of the information
 * required to create and maintain C++ object instances and
 * the information necessary to parse and construct a hierarchy of COLLADA
 * elements.
 * @par
 * @c daeMetaElement objects also act as factories for C++ COLLADA dom classes where
 * each @c daeElement is capable of creating an instance of the class it describes.
 * Further, each @c daeMetaElement contains references to other @c daeMetaElements
 * for potential XML children elements.  This enables this system to easily
 * create @c daeElements of the appropriate type while navigating through XML
 * recursive parse.
 * @par
 * See @c daeElement for information about the functionality that every @c daeElement implements.
