 * A NormalizedNode holding the contents of an {@code anydata} node in some object model. While no guarantees are placed

 *   <li>{@link NormalizedAnydata}, which exposes the contents as a {@link NormalizedNode} with attached schema
 *       information</li>
 *   <li>{@link NormalizableAnydata}, which is trait optionally implemented by object models and allows the opaque,
