* A class that implements traverses DTMAxisTraverser interface can traverse

* an iterator, because it does not need to hold state, and, in fact, must not
* hold any iteration-based state. It is meant to be implemented as an inner
* class of a DTM, and returned by the getAxisTraverser(final int axis)
* function.
*
* <p>A DTMAxisTraverser can probably not traverse a reverse axis in
* document order.</p>
