public interface FingerprintedNode

This is a marker interface used to identify nodes that contain a namepool fingerprint. Although all nodes are capable of returning a fingerprint, some (notably DOM, XOM, and JDOM nodes) need to calculate it on demand. A node that implements this interface indicates that obtaining the fingerprint for use in name comparisons is more efficient than using the URI and local name.
