  Parameters:
    `name` - the name of the required child element
  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - thrown if the errorListener decides that it's a fatal error.

### parseFinalOrBlock

    public int parseFinalOrBlock(String attrName,
                                 String finalValue,
                                 int allowed)
                          throws SchemaException

  Parse a list of blocked or final derivations. Used to process the block, final, blockDefault, and finalDefault attributes.

  Parameters:
    `attrName` - the name of the attribute being parsed
    `finalValue` - A list of values to be parsed, as a string, for example "extension restriction"
    `allowed` - The permitted values, as a bit-significant integer. For example the value (DERIVE_BY_EXTENSION | DERIVE_BY_RESTRICTION) allows the values "extension" and "restriction" to appear.
  Returns:
    The final/blocked values, as a bit-significant integer
  Throws:
    `SchemaException`

### processId

    public void processId()
                   throws SchemaException

  Process an @id attribute on the schema element: if present, check that it is a valid ID, and that it is unique in the schema document

  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - if the id is present and is invalid or is a duplicate

### allocateAnonymousTypeCode

    protected int allocateAnonymousTypeCode()

  Allocate a name to an anonymous type. It's important that the name allocated should be repeatable, because it can be referenced as a type annotation in a PTree document.

  Returns:
    the name code of the allocated name

  Returns:
    the value of the attribute as an integer, or -1 indicating "unbounded"
  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - if the value is invalid (in which case the error will have been reported). If the value is a very high integer (greater than Integer.MAX_VALUE), the method outputs a warning and treats the value as "unbounded".

                              throws SchemaException

  Check the content model of an element in the schema. This uses a finite state machine generated into the Java source code by applying an XSLT transformation to the schema component model for the Schema for Schemas.

  The finite state machine is generated as follows: First process the S4S to create an SCM model, then apply the stylesheet generate-S4S-code in the build directory with type=complexType, for example. The value of the type parameter can be either the name of the type or its ID in the SCM file.

  Parameters:
    `stateTerms` - an array of states, and for each state, an array containing the fingerprints of elements allowed to appear in that state
    `stateTargets` - an array of states, and for each state, an array containing the destinations of transitions when the corresponding term from stateTerms is encountered
    `allowWildcards` -
  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - if the schema being processed does not conform to the required content model

### isFinalState

    protected boolean isFinalState(int state)

  For elements whose content model is parsed using a finite state machine, test whether a given state is a final state. The default implementation of this method is never used; it exists for the benefit of subclasses that do not use this mechanism

  Parameters:
    `state` - the state to be tested
  Returns:
    true if the given state is a final state

### processAllowedNamespaces

    protected void processAllowedNamespaces(String attValue,
                                            Wildcard wildcard)

  Process the notQNames attribute of XSDAny or XSDAnyAttribute

  Parameters:
    `attValue` - the value of the attribute
    `wildcard` - the wildcard object being constructed
  Throws:
    `SchemaException` - if the attribute is in error

### getSequenceNumber

    protected final long getSequenceNumber()

  Get the node sequence number (in document order). Sequence numbers are monotonic but not consecutive. In the current implementation, parent nodes (elements and document nodes) have a zero least-significant word, while namespaces, attributes, text nodes, comments, and PIs have the top word the same as their owner and the bottom half reflecting their relative position. For nodes added by XQUery Update, the sequence number is -1L

  Overrides:
    `getSequenceNumber` in class `NodeImpl`
  Returns:
    the sequence number if there is one, or -1L otherwise.

  See Also:
    `Item.getStringValueCS()`

### getStringValueCS

    public CharSequence getStringValueCS()

  Description copied from class: `NodeImpl`
  Get the value of the item as a CharSequence. This is in some cases more efficient than the version of the method that returns a String.

  Specified by:
    `getStringValueCS` in interface `Item`
  Specified by:
    `getStringValueCS` in interface `ValueRepresentation`
  Overrides:
    `getStringValueCS` in class `NodeImpl`

    `Item.getStringValue()`

### addChild

    protected void addChild(NodeImpl node,
                            int index)

  Add a child node to this node. For system use only. Note: normalizing adjacent text nodes is the responsibility of the caller.

  Parameters:
    `node` - the node to be added as a child of this node. This must be an instance of `NodeImpl`. It will be modified as a result of this call (by setting its parent property and sibling position)
    `index` - the position where the child is to be added

### insertChildren

    public void insertChildren(NodeInfo[] source,
                               boolean atStart,
                               boolean inherit)

  Insert a sequence of nodes as children of this node.

  This method takes no action unless the target node is a document node or element node. It also takes no action in respect of any supplied nodes that are not elements, text nodes, comments, or processing instructions.

  The supplied nodes will form the new children. Adjacent text nodes will be merged, and zero-length text nodes removed. The supplied nodes may be modified in situ, for example to change their parent property and to add namespace bindings, or they may be copied, at the discretion of the implementation.

  Specified by:
    `insertChildren` in interface `MutableNodeInfo`
  Overrides:
    `insertChildren` in class `NodeImpl`
  Parameters:
    `source` - the nodes to be inserted. The implementation determines what implementation classes of node it will accept; this implementation will accept text, comment, and processing instruction nodes belonging to any implementation, but elements must be instances of `ElementImpl`. The supplied nodes will be modified in situ, for example to change their parent property and to add namespace bindings, if they are instances of `ElementImpl`; otherwise they will be copied. If the nodes are copied, then on return the supplied source array will contain the copy rather than the original.
    `atStart` - true if the new nodes are to be inserted before existing children; false if they are to be inserted after existing children
    `inherit` - true if the inserted nodes are to inherit the namespaces of their new parent; false if such namespaces are to be undeclared
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if the supplied nodes use a node implementation that this implementation does not accept.

### insertChildrenAt

    protected void insertChildrenAt(NodeInfo[] source,
                                    int index,
                                    boolean inherit)

  Insert children before or after a given existing child

  Parameters:
    `source` - the children to be inserted. We allow any kind of text, comment, or processing instruction node, but element nodes must be instances of this NodeInfo implementation.
    `index` - the position before which they are to be inserted: 0 indicates insertion before the first child, 1 insertion before the second child, and so on.
    `inherit` - true if the inserted nodes are to inherit the namespaces that are in-scope for their new parent; false if such namespaces should be undeclared on the children

### replaceChildrenAt

    protected void replaceChildrenAt(NodeInfo[] source,
                                     int index,
                                     boolean inherit)

  Replace child at a given index by new children

  Parameters:
    `source` - the children to be inserted
    `index` - the position at which they are to be inserted: 0 indicates replacement of the first child, replacement of the second child, and so on. The effect is undefined if index is out of range
    `inherit` - set to true if the new child elements are to inherit the in-scope namespaces of their new parent
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if any of the replacement nodes is not an element, text, comment, or processing instruction node

### compact

    public void compact(int size)

  Compact the space used by this node

  Parameters:
    `size` - the number of actual children
