/** Internal class LCount is used to track the number of
    listeners registered for a given event name, as an entry
    in a global hashtable. This should allow us to avoid generating,
    or discard, events for which no listeners are registered. 
    
    ***** There should undoubtedly be methods here to manipulate
    this table. At the moment that code's residing in NodeImpl.
    Move it when we have a chance to do so. Sorry; we were
    rushed.
    
    ???? CONCERN: Hashtables are known to be "overserialized" in
    current versions of Java. That may impact performance.
    
    ???? CONCERN: The hashtable should probably be a per-document object.
    Finer granularity would be even better, but would cost more cycles to
    resolve and might not save enough event traffic to be worth the investment.
