+// A scene component maintains a description of some graphical content which
+// an application would like to render.  This description consists of
+// resources and nodes.
+//
+// Use |Compositor.RegisterScene()| to register a scene.  The application
+// uses the |Scene| interface to manage the scene's content and implements
+// the |SceneListener| interface to handle events.
+//
+// CONTENT
+//
+// Resources are references to foreign objects which are being imported into
+// the scene graph, such as images and other scenes.  Each resource must be
+// given a locally unique identifier when it is bound to the scene.
+//
+// Nodes express the geometry and content of the scene, such as images and
+// references to embedded scenes.  Nodes are arranged to form a directed
+// acyclic graph of drawing commands.
+//
+// The root node of the scene has the special id of |kSceneRootNodeId|.
+//
+// ATOMICITY
+//
+// To ensure atomicity of updates, the evolution of a scene occurs in two
+// phases: update and publish.  Incremental changes to the scene made during
+// the update phase are not observed until published.
+//
+// - Update phase: To construct the next state of a scene, the scene owner
+//   issues any number of scene update requests to add, update, or remove
+//   resources and nodes.
+//
+// - Publish phase: When the next state of a scene is fully constructed, the
+//   scene owner issues a request to publish its changes to the scene and
+//   assigns it a version identifier.  The version identifer may be used
+//   in scene references to coordinate updates across multiple scenes which
+//   must be synchronized.
+//
+// Once the scene has been published, the scene owner may begin to construct
+// the next state without disrupting the state just published.
+//
+// SYNCHRONIZATION
+//
+// To ensure synchronization of updates across scenes, some additional work
+// is needed.
+//
+// For example, consider the case of a scene X which embeds two other scenes
+// A and B.  If X changes size, it may need to resize A and B as well to
+// fit properly within its layout.
+//
+// To do so, X sends the owners of A and B each a message indicating the
+// new size it desires along with new scene version identifiers V(A) and
+// V(B) which the owners of A and B must use when they publish the new scene
+// state which incorporates the requested size change.
+//
+// Meanwhile, X produces a new scene of its own taking into account its
+// new size.  As part of constructing this new scene, it binds to the V(A)
+// and V(B) versions of A and B to express its dependence on A and B
+// having been updated to the new size.
+//
+// Propagating version information top-down through the scene graph in
+// this manner allows for state changes to be synchronized in a purely
+// feed-forward manner.
+//
+// CONCURRENCY
+//
+// In the above synchronization example, version numbers were used to
+// couple the state of one scene with others that it depends on.
+// What should happen if these dependencies are not satisfied promptly?
+//
+// Suppose X and A quickly produce new scenes with the new size but
+// B is taking longer than anticipated to do so.  We have a few choices:
+//
+// - Stall: The compositor could continue to show the old state of X, A, and B
+//   until such time as all three have published their new versions.
+//
+// - Recover: The compositor could realize that X and A are already up to date
+//   but B is lagging and choose to apply a transformation to B's old content
+//   cover for the lag, such as by scaling, clipping, masking, or discarding
+//   B's old content.
+//
+// - Speculate: The compositor could allow X to provide alternate descriptions
+//   of the scene in the case where A or B are not keeping up so that it
+//   can more finely control the recovery policy.
+//
+// To maximize concurrency, we adopt the latter approach.

+  // effect until the scene owner calls |Publish()| to publish them.
+  //
+  // Updates are buffered and applied when |Publish()| is called.  This means
