Description:

This class represents an XML textual object,
i.e. a sequence of legal characters as defined in the XML 1.0 specification
and may represent markup or character data.

        text    <CharacterArray | nil>
        stripped        <Boolean>

 xPath

return the first xPath which uniquely refers to this node.
Going to be obsoleted by xPathAndAlternativesInto:

 xPathAndUpTo: limit alternativesInto: aBlock

(comment from inherited method)
generates the preferred xPath as return value,
in addition enumerates this xPath and alternative xPathes into aBlock:
- unique attributes among siblings
- index
limitOrNil controls the max. number of Xpathes to be generated
(do avoid enormous combinatoric explosion)
Useful to offer alternative xpathes in a GUI (eg. in the XML inspector);
if nil, all of them are enumerated

 = anXmlText

(comment from inherited method)
return true if the receiver and the arg have the same structure.
Notice:
This method is partially open coded (inlined) by the compiler(s)
identical objects are always considered equal.
redefining it may not work as expected.

 hash

(comment from inherited method)
return an Integer useful as a hash key for the receiver.
This hash should return same values for objects with same
contents (i.e. use this to hash on structure)

 printCanonicalOn: aStream

 printNoIndentOn: aStream endSpacing: endSpacingBlock spacing: spacingBlock

(comment from inherited method)
Print myself on the stream with line breaks between adjacent
elements, but no indentation.
