56 <p>The <type scope="com::sun::star::container">XContentEnumerationAccess</type>
57 interface can be supported optionally.
58 If it is suported, it is possible to enumerate all implementations that
59 support the service specified with the argument of
60 <member scope="com::sun::star::container">XContentEnumerationAccess::createContentEnumeration</member>.
61 The enumerator returns interfaces. The type of the interface is not specified.
