+     * SubsequenceIterator allows a "slice", a subsequence, from an QAbstractXmlForwardIterator to
+     * be extracted. The SubsequenceIterator's constructor takes a source QAbstractXmlForwardIterator,
+     * a start position, and the length of the subsequence to be extracted.
+     *
+     * SubsequenceIterator contains the central business logic to implement
+     * the <tt>fn:subsequence()</tt> function. The detailed behavior, such as how it behaves
+     * if the source QAbstractXmlForwardIterator is empty or if the specified subsequence stretches
+     * beyond the source QAbstractXmlForwardIterator, is therefore consistent with the definition of
+     * the <tt>fn:subsequence()</tt> function.
