Abstract base class for the root node of XML documents or document fragments that are wrapped inside of an fo:instream-foreign-object. Note that instances of this class are not the fo:instream-foreign-object itself, but rather its contents.
Since the document represented by this object is by definition foreign, no attempt is made to do anything with it other than create a DOM document that can be used by the external application that does know how to handle this content. The primary example currently used is instream SVG, which is later passed to Batik for it to process.
Note that only the root element of the foreign XML is represented directly in the FO Tree. All other elements of the foreign XML are added to the DOM instance, which is encapsulated in the ForeignXML instance.
