+// DeprecatedPaintLayerStackingNode represents anything that is treated as a |
+// stacking context. |
+// |
+// Stacking contexts are the basis for the CSS painting algorithm. The paint |
+// order is determined by walking stacking contexts (or elements treated like a |
+// stacking context like positioned objects or floats) in an order defined by |
+// ‘z-index’. This walk is interleaved with content that is not a stacking. |
+// context. See CSS 2.1 appendix E for the actual algorithm |
+// http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/zindex.html |
+// See also DeprecatedPaintLayerPainter (in particular paintLayerContents) for |
+// our implementation of the walk. |
+// |
+// Stacking contexts form a subtree over the layout tree. Ideally we would want |
+// objects of this class to be a node in this tree but there are potential |
+// issues with stale pointers so we rely on DeprecatedPaintLayer's tree |
+// structure. |
+// |
+// This class's purpose is to represent a node in the stacking context tree |
+// (aka paint tree). It currently caches the z-order lists for painting and |
+// hit-testing. |
+// |
+// To implement any z-order list iterations, use |
+// DeprecatedPaintLayerStackingNodeIterator and |
+// DeprecatedPaintLayerStackingNodeReverseIterator. |
+// |
+// This class is NOT DEPRECATED, DeprecatedPaintLayer is and we match its |
+// naming. |
