23   * ComputationAction2 will print the result of the compuration made by 
24   * children elements but only if the compuration itself is named, that is if the
25   * name attribute of the associated computation element is not null. In other
26   * words, anonymous computations will not print their result.
27   * 
28   * ComputationAction2 differs from ComputationAction1 in its handling of
29   * instance variables. ComputationAction1 has a simple <Code>nameStr</code>
30   * instance variable. This variable is set when the begin() method is called 
31   * and then later used within the end() method. 
32   * 
33   * This simple approach works properly if the begin() and end()
34   * method of a given action are expected to be called in sequence. However,
35   * there are situations where the begin() method of the same action instance is 
36   * invoked multiple times before the matching end() method is invoked. 
37   * 
38   * When this happens, the second call to begin() overwrites values set by
39   * the first invocation to begin(). The solution is to save parameter values 
40   * into a separate stack. The well-formedness of XML will guarantee that a value
41   * saved by one begin() will be consumed only by the matching end() method.
42   * 
43   * Note that in the vast majority of cases there is no need to resort to a 
44   * separate stack for each variable. The situation of successibe begin() 
45   * invocations can only occur if: 
46   * 
47   * 1) the associated pattern contains a wildcard, i.e. the &#42; character
48   * 
49   * and
50   * 
51   * 2) the associated element tag can contain itself as a child 
52   *  
53   * For example, "&#42;/computation" pattern means that computations can contain
54   * other computation elements as children.
