//       Class : ModelRoot
// Description : A node of this type is created automatically at the
//               root of each model file that is loaded.  It may
//               eventually contain some information about the
//               contents of the model; at the moment, it contains no
//               special information, but can be used as a flag to
//               indicate the presence of a loaded model file.
