/**
 * A representation of the XML <code>KeyInfo</code> element as defined in
 * the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/">
 * W3C Recommendation for XML-Signature Syntax and Processing</a>.
 * A <code>KeyInfo</code> contains a list of {@link XMLStructure}s, each of 
 * which contain information that enables the recipient(s) to obtain the key 
 * needed to validate an XML signature. The XML Schema Definition is defined as:
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;element name="KeyInfo" type="ds:KeyInfoType"/&gt; 
 * &lt;complexType name="KeyInfoType" mixed="true"&gt;
 *   &lt;choice maxOccurs="unbounded"&gt;     
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:KeyName"/&gt; 
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:KeyValue"/&gt; 
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:RetrievalMethod"/&gt;
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:X509Data"/&gt;
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:PGPData"/&gt;
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:SPKIData"/&gt;
 *     &lt;element ref="ds:MgmtData"/&gt;
 *     &lt;any processContents="lax" namespace="##other"/&gt;
 *     &lt;!-- (1,1) elements from (0,unbounded) namespaces --&gt;
 *   &lt;/choice&gt;
 *   &lt;attribute name="Id" type="ID" use="optional"/&gt; 
 * &lt;/complexType&gt;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * A <code>KeyInfo</code> instance may be created by invoking one of the 
 * {@link KeyInfoFactory#newKeyInfo newKeyInfo} methods of the
 * {@link KeyInfoFactory} class, and passing it a list of one or more 
 * <code>XMLStructure</code>s and an optional id parameter;
 * for example:
 * <pre>
 *   KeyInfoFactory factory = KeyInfoFactory.getInstance("DOM");
 *   KeyInfo keyInfo = factory.newKeyInfo
 *	(Collections.singletonList(factory.newKeyName("Alice"), "keyinfo-1"));
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p><code>KeyInfo</code> objects can also be marshalled to XML by invoking
 * the {@link #marshal marshal} method.
