/**
* A strategy for serializing managed object paths.
* <p>
* This interface provides a generic means for serializing managed
* object paths into application specific forms. For example, a JNDI
* client would use this interface to construct <code>LdapName</code>
* objects from a path. Similarly, on the server side, a serialization
* strategy is used to construct <code>DN</code> instances from a
* path.
* <p>
* During serialization the serializer is invoked for each element in
* the managed object path in big-endian order, starting from the root
* and proceeding down to the leaf element.
