 * Class to track what element is referenced by a given ID.
 * 
 * To use it, call Reset() to set it up to watch a given URI. Call get()
 * anytime to determine the referenced element (which may be null if
 * the element isn't found). When the element changes, ElementChanged
 * will be called, so subclass this class if you want to receive that
 * notification. ElementChanged runs at safe-for-script time, i.e. outside
 * of the content update. Call Unlink() if you want to stop watching
 * for changes (get() will then return null).
 *
 * By default this is a single-shot tracker --- i.e., when ElementChanged
 * fires, we will automatically stop tracking. get() will continue to return
 * the changed-to element.
 * Override IsPersistent to return true if you want to keep tracking after
 * the first change.
