<DataStructure ... == <DataItem  ItemType="Uniform" ...


An XdmfDataItem is a container for data. It is of one of three types :
\verbatim
    Uniform ..... A single DataStructure or DataTransform
    Collection .. Contains an Array of 1 or more DataStructures or DataTransforms
    Tree ........ A Hierarchical group of other DataItems
\endverbatim

A Uniform DataItem is a XdmfDataStructure or an XdmfDataTransform. Both
XdmfDataStructure and XdmfDataTransform are maintined for backwards compatibility.
