 * A representation of the element content. The instances of this class
 * can be arranged into the linked list, representing a BNF expression.
 * The content model is constructed as a branched tree structure in the
 * following way:
 * <pre>
 * a = new ContentModel('+', A, null); // a reprensents A+
 * b = new ContentModel('&amp;', B, a); // b represents B &amp; A+
 * c = new ContentModel('*', b, null); // c represents ( B &amp; A+) *
 * d = new ContentModel('|', new ContentModel('*', A, null),
 *          new ContentModel('?', B, null)); // d represents ( A* | B? )
 * </pre>
 * where the valid operations are:
 * <ul>
 * <li><code>E* </code> E occurs zero or more times</li>
 * <li><code>E+ </code> E occurs one or more times</li>
 * <li><code>E? </code> E occurs once or not atl all</li>
 * <li><code>A,B</code> A occurs before B</li>
 * <li><code>A|B</code> both A and B are permitted in any order.
 * The '|' alone does not permit the repetetive occurence of A or B
 * (use <code>(A|B)*</code>.</li>
 * <li><code>A&amp;B</code> both A and B must occur once (in any order)</li>
 * </ul>
