Could withdraw the abstract class from the API.

Might be in use by NiFi adapter.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: API

> Our JAPI and SAPI don't allow one to drill down (into the javadoc/scaladoc) of the DISimple and other DINode subclasses that are passed to the InfosetOutputter methods.
> The information on these DINode classes, including the ElementRuntimeData information needed by an infoset outputter needs to be on documented APIs.
> This suggests we need to revisit the DINode classes and subclasses, and create a read-only trait that we cast up to when passing these to the InfosetOutputter API methods. 
> This is what InfosetElement, InfosetDocument, and InfosetArray were supposed to be, though whether they are suitable is unclear. The DISimple/DIComplex distinction, for example, is very helpful when creating an InfosetOutputter. We may also want to provide an interface to a subset of the ERD data - as many of its members are internally about the needs of parsers/unparsers and not relevant to the external API for Daffodil.
