-
-<p>For each <a>'use'</a> element, the SVG DOM maintains a shadow tree (the
-"instance tree") of objects of type <a>SVGElementInstance</a>. An
-<a>SVGElementInstance</a> represents a single node in the instance tree.
-The root object in the instance tree is pointed to by the
-<a>SVGUseElement::instanceRoot</a> attribute on the
-<a>SVGUseElement</a> object for the corresponding <a>'use'</a> element.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>If the <a>'use'</a> element references a simple graphics element such as
-a <a>'rect'</a>, then there is only a single <a>SVGElementInstance</a>
-object, and the <a>correspondingElement</a> attribute on this
-<a>SVGElementInstance</a> object is the <a>SVGRectElement</a> that
-corresponds to the referenced <a>'rect'</a> element.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>If the <a>'use'</a> element references a <a>'g'</a> which contains two
-<a>'rect'</a> elements, then the instance tree contains three
-<a>SVGElementInstance</a> objects, a root <a>SVGElementInstance</a> object
-whose <a>correspondingElement</a> is the <a>SVGGElement</a> object for the
-<a>'g'</a>, and then two child <a>SVGElementInstance</a> objects, each of
-which has its <a>correspondingElement</a> that is an <a>SVGRectElement</a>
-object.
-</p>
-
-
-<p>If the referenced object is itself a <a>'use'</a>, or if there are
-<a>'use'</a> subelements within the referenced object, the instance tree
-will contain recursive expansion of the indirect references to form a
-complete tree. For example, if a <a>'use'</a> element references a
-<a>'g'</a>, and the <a>'g'</a> itself contains a <a>'use'</a>, and that
-<a>'use'</a> references a <a>'rect'</a>, then the instance tree for the
