When a model is inserted into the document embedding hierarchy, it is asked to create a document component store that will satisfy its needs. It either creates a standard document component store or a specialized one.
Each model and presenter state pair has its own document component store.
Just as the embedded document components form an embedding hierarchy, the document component stores form a corresponding hierarchy.
The basic document component store treats models differently from other persistent data. For models, it allows them to use the storage mechanism directly. The default behavior for a model is to ask the mechanism to create a stream and then use its streaming operators to handle the filing.
For all other persistent data, the store has the storage mechanism create a stream for each persistent data instance that it stores.
