Recursively builds a TaxonomyElem from the passed backing element.
Recursively builds a TaxonomyElem from the passed backing element. This is a relatively expensive method,
but the resulting TaxonomyElem supports fast querying.
This method is designed to successfully return a TaxonomyElem even if the content is invalid. For example,
an xs:element XML element with both a name and a ref attribute is invalid, and is neither an element declaration
nor an element reference, but it will be returned as an OtherXsdElem element.
This property makes the TQA DOM type hierarchy useful in situations where TQA is used for validating (possibly
invalid) taxonomies, but it does imply that OtherXsdElem, OtherLinkElem and OtherNonXLinkElem elements must be
recognized and possibly rejected during validation. The same may be true for some NonStandardArc objects, etc.
