    // Constructors

        super(ownerDocument);

Factory constructor.

 public Node cloneNode(boolean deep) 
{
        ElementDefinitionImpl newnode =
            (ElementDefinitionImpl) super.cloneNode(deep);
        // NamedNodeMap must be explicitly replicated to avoid sharing
        newnode.attributes = attributes.cloneMap(newnode);
        return newnode;
}

Replicate this object.

 public NamedNodeMap getAttributes() 
{
        if (needsSyncChildren()) {
            synchronizeChildren();
        }
        return attributes;
}

Query the attributes defined on this Element.

In the base implementation this Map simply contains Attribute objects representing the defaults. In a more serious implementation, it would contain AttributeDefinitionImpl objects for all declared Attributes, indicating which are Default, DefaultFixed, Implicit and/or Required.

 public String getNodeName() 
{
        if (needsSyncData()) {
            synchronizeData();
        }
        return name;
}

Returns the element definition name

 public short getNodeType() 
{
        return NodeImpl.ELEMENT_DEFINITION_NODE;
}

A short integer indicating what type of node this is. The named constants for this value are defined in the org.w3c.dom.Node interface.
