    sequence of URLs (typically one, sometimes two) specifies its anchor,
    the resource it is bound to.  The anchor typically is a pane (for
    views), or it is empty (for panes).</p>

    the absence of one.  Instead of an empty <type>XResourceId</type> object
    an empty reference can be used in many places.</p>

    method on its creation.  Arguments are only available through the
