        each of the two can exist without its counterpart, but create this counterpart on request
        only. As a consequence, the document obtained via this attribute might be newly created,
        which implies that the caller is now responsible for it. In particular, the caller is
        responsible for calling com::sun::star::util::XCloseable::close()
        on the document as soon as it's not needed anymore.</p>

        <p>Additionally, if the caller does long-lasting processing on the document, it's advised
        to add itself as com::sun::star::util::XCloseListener to the document,
        to prevent closing as long as the processing lasts.</p>
