+ * Interface descriping a name build up from different components.
+ * The components are represented as <code>String</code>s which are
+ * ordered from most significant to least significant. There are methods to
+ * get the number of components. Methods to get a particular component or group
+ * of components. Components can be added as <code>String</code>s or
+ * <code>Name</code>s and a component can be removed from any position in the
+ * <code>Name</code>.
+ * A <code>Name</code> can be compared to another <code>Name</code> and it can
+ * be checked if a particular <code>Name</code> starts or ends with the same
+ * components as another <code>Name</code>. Finally <code>Name</code>s can be
+ * serialized and cloned.
+ * <p>
+ * Since <code>Name</code>s can be empty (have no components) methods that
+ * return a <code>Name</code> will never return <code>null</code>.
