27 /**
28  * An object implementing |nsIStyleRule| (henceforth, a rule) represents
29  * immutable stylistic information that either applies or does not apply
30  * to a given element.  It belongs to an object or group of objects that
31  * implement |nsIStyleSheet| and |nsIStyleRuleProcessor| (henceforth, a
32  * sheet).
33  *
34  * A rule becomes relevant to the computation of style data when
35  * |nsIStyleRuleProcessor::RulesMatching| creates a rule node that
36  * points to the rule.  (A rule node, |nsRuleNode|, is a node in the
37  * rule tree, which is a lexicographic tree indexed by rules.  The path
38  * from the root of the rule tree to the |nsRuleNode| for a given
39  * |nsStyleContext| contains exactly the rules that match the element
40  * that the style context is for, in priority (weight, origin,
41  * specificity) order.)
42  *
43  * The computation of style data uses the rule tree, which calls
44  * |nsIStyleRule::MapRuleInfoInto| below.
45  *
46  * It is worth emphasizing that the data represented by a rule
47  * implementation are immutable.  When the data need to be changed, a
48  * new rule object must be created.  Failing to do this will lead to
49  * bugs in the handling of dynamic style changes, since the rule tree
50  * caches the results of |MapRuleInfoInto|.
51  *
52  * |nsIStyleRule| objects are owned by |nsRuleNode| objects (in addition
53  * to typically being owned by their sheet), which are in turn garbage
54  * collected (with the garbage collection roots being style contexts).
