/** extends <type>XRepository</type> with document-specific functionality.

    <p>
    This subclass of <type>XRepository</type> provides some methods which
    only make sense for repositories that are attached to a document.
    For example, the methods allow for manipulating in-content metadata,
    which is stored as RDFa.
    </p>

    /** update the RDFa statement(s) that correspond to an ODF element in the
        repository.

        <p>
        This method will do the following steps:
        <ol>
        <li>Remove all previously set RDFa statements for the Object parameter
             from the repository</li>
        <li>If the RDFaContent parameter is the empty <atom>string</atom>,
            for every Predicate in the given list of Predicates,
            add the following RDF statement to an unspecified named graph:
            <ul>
            <li><code>Subject Predicate
                      XLiteral(Object->getText()^^RDFaDatatype)</code></li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        <li>If the RDFaContent parameter is not the empty <atom>string</atom>,
            for every Predicate in the given list of Predicates,
            add the following RDF statement to an unspecified named graph:
            <ul>
            <li>
            <code>Subject Predicate XLiteral(RDFaContent^^RDFaDatatype)</code>
            </li>
            </ul>
        </li>
        </ol>
        </p>

        <p>
        RDFa statements are handled specially because they are not logically
        part of any named graph in the repository.
        Also, they have rather unusual semantics;
        just using <member>XNamedGraph::addStatement</member> would be
        ambiguous:
        if the object is a <type>XMetadatable</type>, do we insert
        the object itself (URI) or its literal content (RDFa)?
