/// <p>Append properties from one XMP object to another.
///
/// <p>XMPUtils#appendProperties was created to support the File Info dialog's Append button, and
/// has been been generalized somewhat from those specific needs. It appends information from one
/// XMP object (source) to another (dest). The default operation is to append only external
/// properties that do not already exist in the destination. The flag
/// <code>doAllProperties</code> can be used to operate on all properties, external and internal.
/// The flag <code>replaceOldValues</code> option can be used to replace the values
/// of existing properties. The notion of external
/// versus internal applies only to top level properties. The keep-or-replace-old notion applies
/// within structs and arrays as described below.
/// <ul>
/// <li>If <code>replaceOldValues</code> is true then the processing is restricted to the top
/// level properties. The processed properties from the source (according to
/// <code>doAllProperties</code>) are propagated to the destination,
/// replacing any existing values.Properties in the destination that are not in the source
/// are left alone.
///
/// <li>If <code>replaceOldValues</code> is not passed then the processing is more complicated.
/// Top level properties are added to the destination if they do not already exist.
/// If they do exist but differ in form (simple/struct/array) then the destination is left alone.
/// If the forms match, simple properties are left unchanged while structs and arrays are merged.
///
/// <li>If <code>deleteEmptyValues</code> is passed then an empty value in the source XMP causes
/// the corresponding destination XMP property to be deleted. The default is to treat empty
/// values the same as non-empty values. An empty value is any of a simple empty string, an array
/// with no items, or a struct with no fields. Qualifiers are ignored.
/// </ul>
///
/// <p>The detailed behavior is defined by the following pseudo-code:
/// <blockquote>
/// <pre>
/// appendProperties ( sourceXMP, destXMP, doAllProperties,
/// replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues ):
/// for all source schema (top level namespaces):
/// for all top level properties in sourceSchema:
/// if doAllProperties or prop is external:
/// appendSubtree ( sourceNode, destSchema, replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues )
///
/// appendSubtree ( sourceNode, destParent, replaceOldValues, deleteEmptyValues ):
/// if deleteEmptyValues and source value is empty:
/// delete the corresponding child from destParent
/// else if sourceNode not in destParent (by name):
/// copy sourceNode's subtree to destParent
/// else if replaceOld:
/// delete subtree from destParent
/// copy sourceNode's subtree to destParent
/// else:
/// // Already exists in dest and not replacing, merge structs and arrays
/// if sourceNode and destNode forms differ:
/// return, leave the destNode alone
/// else if form is a struct:
/// for each field in sourceNode:
/// AppendSubtree ( sourceNode.field, destNode, replaceOldValues )
/// else if form is an alt-text array:
/// copy new items by "xml:lang" value into the destination
/// else if form is an array:
/// copy new items by value into the destination, ignoring order and duplicates
/// </pre>
/// </blockquote>
///
/// <p><em>Note:</em> appendProperties can be expensive if replaceOldValues is not passed and
/// the XMP contains large arrays. The array item checking described above is n-squared.
/// Each source item is checked to see if it already exists in the destination,
/// without regard to order or duplicates.
/// <p>Simple items are compared by value and "xml:lang" qualifier, other qualifiers are ignored.
