public interface IContentAdapter
Defines a one-to-one correspondence (bijection) between elements of a Handly-based model and elements of some other model.

For every Object o such that adapt(o) != null, the following must hold: 

    o.equals(getCorrespondingElement(adapt(o))

Likewise, for every IElement e such that getCorrespondingElement(e) != null, the following must hold: 

    e.equals(adapt(getCorrespondingElement(e))

This interface may be implemented by clients.
