/** this interface enables developer to implement different docking area
    acceptors which are used by the frame based layout manager.

    <p>
    A docking area acceptor is responsible to control the docking area of a
    container window. As OLE for example supports inplace and outplace editing,
    there are different parts of code responsible for the container window.
    This interface enables developer to make support implementations for these
    scenarios.
