      Return a filename appropriate for the HTML document representation. }

      \code{XMLNode} instance containing an HTML representation of the package. }

  \code{pdDownloadInfo-class}
  \code{pdDetailsInfo-class}
  \code{pdDescriptionInfo-class}
  \code{pdVigsAndDownloads-class}

  Dummy classes for HTML generation.  Each dummy class is a simple
  extension (it does not add any slots).  The purpose of each dummy
  class is to allow for method dispatch to generate HTML via the
  \code{\link{htmlValue}} method.

  You can convert convert a \code{PackageDetail} instance to one of the
  dummy classes like this: \code{descInfo <- as(pdObj,
    "pdDescriptionInfo")}
