be used to access descendants of such elements.
</p>

the <type scope="com::sun::star::beans">XHierarchicalPropertySetInfo</type>
the implementation provides.

<p>If an implementation is part of a <em>read-only</em> view of the hierarchy,
all properties and subproperties will be reported as having attribute
