+/** This class maintains an OUString->sal_Int16 mapping for cases in
+ * which an XPropertySet needs to be filled with values that are not
+ * yet known.
+ *
+ * A good example for appropriate use are footnotes and references to
+ * footnotes. Internally, the LibreOffice API numbers footnotes, and
+ * references to footnotes refer to that internal numbering. In the
+ * XML file format, these numbers are replaced with name strings. Now
+ * if during import of a document a reference to a footnote is
+ * encountered, two things can happen: 1) The footnote already
+ * appeared in the document. In this case the name is already known
+ * and the proper ID can be requested from the footnote. 2) The
+ * footnote will appear later in the document. In this case the ID is
+ * not yet known, and the reference-ID property of the reference
+ * cannot be determined. Hence, the reference has to be stored and the
+ * ID needs to bet set later, when the footnote is eventually found in
+ * the document.
+ *
+ * This class simplifies this process: If the footnote is found,
+ * ResolveId with the XML name and the ID is called. When a reference
+ * is encountered, SetProperty gets called with the reference's
+ * XPropertySet and the XML name. All remaining tasks are handled by
+ * the class.
