/**
* A representation of the XML <code>Object</code> element as defined in
* the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">
* W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.
* An <code>XMLObject</code> may contain any data and may include optional
* MIME type, ID, and encoding attributes. The XML Schema Definition is
* defined as:
*
* <pre><code>
* <element name="Object" type="ds:ObjectType"/>
* <complexType name="ObjectType" mixed="true">
* <sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
* <any namespace="##any" processContents="lax"/>
* </sequence>
* <attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/>
* <attribute name="MimeType" type="string" use="optional"/>
* <attribute name="Encoding" type="anyURI" use="optional"/>
* </complexType>
* </code></pre>
*
* A <code>XMLObject</code> instance may be created by invoking the
* {@link XMLSignatureFactory#newXMLObject newXMLObject} method of the
* {@link XMLSignatureFactory} class; for example:
*
* <pre>
* XMLSignatureFactory fac = XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM");
* List content = Collections.singletonList(fac.newManifest(references)));
* XMLObject object = factory.newXMLObject(content, "object-1", null, null);
* </pre>
*
* <p>Note that this class is named <code>XMLObject</code> rather than
* <code>Object</code> to avoid naming clashes with the existing
* {@link java.lang.Object java.lang.Object} class.
