    org.w3c.dom.Document, org.w3c.dom.Node

      public class VODocument
      extends DelegatingDocument

  Document implementation which holds a VOTable-specific DOM. The elements in it are all instances of `VOElement`, or of `VOElement` subclasses according to their element names, that is any element with a tagname of "TABLE" in this DOM will be an instance of the class `TableElement` and so on.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### VODocument

          public VODocument(java.lang.String systemId,
                            boolean strict)

      Constructs a new VODocument with a specified System ID.
      Parameters:
        `systemId` - system ID for the VOTable document represented by this DOM (sometimes used for resolving URLs) - may be null
        `strict` - whether to enforce the VOTable standard strictly or in some cases do what is probably meant (see `VOElementFactory.setStrict(boolean)`)

    - #### VODocument

          public VODocument()

      Constructs a new VODocument. No system ID is registered, so that all URLs in the document will be considered as absolute ones. A default level of strictness is used.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getSystemId

          public java.lang.String getSystemId()

      Returns the system ID associated with this document.
      Returns:
        system ID if there is one

    - #### getStoragePolicy

          public uk.ac.starlink.table.StoragePolicy getStoragePolicy()

      Returns the storage policy used for storing bulk table data found as elements in the DOM into a usable form.
      Returns:
        current policy

    - #### setStoragePolicy

          public void setStoragePolicy(uk.ac.starlink.table.StoragePolicy policy)

      Sets the storage policy used for storing bulk table data found as elements in the DOM into a usable form. The default value is `StoragePolicy.PREFER_MEMORY`.
      Parameters:
        `policy` - new policy

    - #### setElementId

          public void setElementId(org.w3c.dom.Element el,
                                   java.lang.String id)

      Stores an element as the referent of a given ID string. This affects the return value of the DOM `getElementById(java.lang.String)` method.

    - #### getElementById

          public org.w3c.dom.Element getElementById(java.lang.String elementId)

      Specified by:
        `getElementById` in interface `org.w3c.dom.Document`
      Overrides:
        `getElementById` in class `DelegatingDocument`

    - #### getDelegator

          public DelegatingNode getDelegator(org.w3c.dom.Node base)

      Description copied from class: `DelegatingDocument`
      Returns the node in this document which delegates to (is based on) a given node in the base document. If this node has not previously been encountered, it will be created here.
      Overrides:
        `getDelegator` in class `DelegatingDocument`
      Parameters:
        `base` - node in the base document
      Returns:
        corresponding node in this document

    - #### getElementCount

          public int getElementCount(java.lang.String voTagName)

      Returns the number of elements of a given name which have so far been added to this document.
      Parameters:
        `voTagName` - VOTable-domain tag name
      Returns:
        number of elements of that type

    - #### createDelegatingElement

          protected DelegatingElement createDelegatingElement(org.w3c.dom.Element node)

      Description copied from class: `DelegatingDocument`
      Creates a new node in this document that delegates to an object of class `Element` in the base model. This may be overridden to create specialised node types.
      Overrides:
        `createDelegatingElement` in class `DelegatingDocument`
      Parameters:
        `node` - delegate node
      Returns:
        new node in this model based on `baseNode`

    - #### createDelegatingAttr

          protected DelegatingAttr createDelegatingAttr(org.w3c.dom.Attr baseNode)

      Description copied from class: `DelegatingDocument`
      Creates a new node in this document that delegates to an object of class `Attr` in the base model. This may be overridden to create specialised node types.
      Overrides:
        `createDelegatingAttr` in class `DelegatingDocument`
      Parameters:
        `baseNode` - delegate node
      Returns:
        new node in this model based on `baseNode`

    - #### getVOTagName

          public java.lang.String getVOTagName(org.w3c.dom.Element el)

      Returns the unqualified tag name for an element in the VOTable namespace, taking care of namespacing issues.
      Parameters:
        `el` - element
      Returns:
