    - #### translateNamespacePrefixToUri

          public String translateNamespacePrefixToUri(String prefix,
                                                      Object element)

      Translates a namespace prefix to a namespace URI, possibly considering a particular element node.

      Strictly speaking, prefix-to-URI translation should occur irrespective of any element in the document. This method is provided to allow a non-conforming ease-of-use enhancement.

      Specified by:
        `translateNamespacePrefixToUri` in interface `org.jaxen.Navigator`
      Overrides:
        `translateNamespacePrefixToUri` in class `org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator`
      Parameters:
        `prefix` - the prefix to translate
        `element` - the element to consider during translation
      Returns:
        Returns the namespace URI associated with the prefix.

    - #### getProcessingInstructionTarget

          public String getProcessingInstructionTarget(Object object)

      Retrieves the target of a processing-instruction.
      Specified by:
        `getProcessingInstructionTarget` in interface `org.jaxen.Navigator`
      Overrides:
        `getProcessingInstructionTarget` in class `org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator`
      Parameters:
        `object` - the context processing-instruction node
      Returns:
        Returns the target of the processing-instruction node.

    - #### getProcessingInstructionData

          public String getProcessingInstructionData(Object object)

      Retrieves the data of a processing-instruction.
      Specified by:
        `getProcessingInstructionData` in interface `org.jaxen.Navigator`
      Overrides:
        `getProcessingInstructionData` in class `org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator`
      Parameters:
        `object` - the context processing-instruction node
      Returns:
        Returns the data of the processing-instruction node.

    - #### getNodeType

          public short getNodeType(Object node)

      Returns a number that identifies the type of node that the given object represents in this navigator. See org.jaxen.pattern.Pattern
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in interface `org.jaxen.Navigator`
      Overrides:
        `getNodeType` in class `org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator`
      Parameters:
        `node` - ????
      Returns:
        Returns short.

    - #### getParentNode

          public Object getParentNode(Object contextNode)
                               throws org.jaxen.UnsupportedAxisException

      Returns the parent of the given context node.

      The parent of any node must either be a document node or an element node.

      Specified by:
        `getParentNode` in interface `org.jaxen.Navigator`
      Overrides:
        `getParentNode` in class `org.jaxen.DefaultNavigator`
      Parameters:
        `contextNode` - the context node
      Returns:
        Returns the parent of the context node, or null if this is a document node.
      Throws:
        `org.jaxen.UnsupportedAxisException` - if the parent axis is not supported by the model
