                     while (qnl.hasNext()) {
                          QualifierNode node = qnl.getNextQualifierNode();
                     }

                     while (qnl.hasNext()) {
                          QualifierNode[] nodes = qnl.hetNextQualifierNodes(qnl.available());
                     }
