Fields
A Field is a read-write, user-defined element: a name/value pair, where the name is case-
insensitive. It holds custom information about a certain "Node" on page212 in the Metadata
structure. Fields are repetitive (i.e. the same field may appear multiple times) and persist
through Metadata recreation.
Fields are stored in a collection container object, just like "Attributes" on page228. As is the
case with the different types of Nodes, both collections share a number of methods and
properties. The Fields collection however has additional methods to support multiple entries
with the same name, which is forbidden with attributes.
