Defs

public class Defs extends StructureNode
Defs are used as placeholders where proxied ModelNode can be stored for reference by ElementNodeProxy instances.
Note that according to the SVG 1.1 DTD, <defs> should be StructureNode. However, we should not apply GraphicsNode and TextNode properties on <defs> as it is useless: <defs> content is never rendered directly, so properties set on defs are _never_ inherited by <defs> children. Therefore, having defs support graphics and text properties is an oversight in the SVG Tiny specification. Note: There is a JDTS test failure when defs extends ElementNode instead of StructureNode. This is caused by the fact that in that case it breaks an inheritance chain from a child to defs's parent.
