The NamedNodeMap object represents an unordered list of nodes.
The nodes in the NamedNodeMap can be accessed through their name.
The NamedNodeMap keeps itself up-to-date. If an element is deleted or added, in the node list or the XML document, the list is automatically updated.
Note: In a named node map, the nodes are not returned in any particular order.
