/** Extended Plug-in interface IEditController for a component. 
\ingroup vstIPlug vst350
- [plug imp]
- [extends IEditController]
- [released: 3.5.0]
- [optional]

A Representation based on XML is a way to export and structure, group Plug-ins parameters for a specific remote (could be hardware or software rack (like quickcontrols)).
\n
It allows to describe more precisely each parameter (what is the best matching to a knob, different titles lengths matching limited remote display,...).\n See an \ref Example.
 \n\n
- A Representation is composed of Pages (this means that to see all exported parameters the user has to navigate through the pages).
- A Page is composed of Cells (for example 8 Cells per page).
- A Cell is composed of Layers (for example a cell could have a knob, a display and a button which are 3 Layers).
- A Layer is associated to a Plug-in parameter using the ParameterID as identifier:
	- it could be a knob with a display for Title and/or value, this display uses the same parameterId, but it could an another one.
	- Switch
	- link which allows to jump directly to a subpage (an another page) 
	- more... See Vst::LayerType
.

\n
This Representation is implemented as XML text following the Document Type Definition (DTD): http://dtd.steinberg.net/VST-Remote-1.1.dtd

\section Example
Here an example of what should be passed in the stream of getXmlRepresentationStream:

\code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
