public abstract class DocumentView

What a document of one type is shown in: the Workspace half of what IAssetEditorFactory was.

Remarks

Doc 50 § D4, #1294. The kind — which files, how a document opens — is Vixen.Editor.Core's DocumentKind; this is the element. They are joined by the document's type and nothing else, because this assembly deliberately cannot name EditorDocument: it sees the document as IEditableDocument, which is what #656's port made it.

⚠ Create may run more than once for one document. A dock panel's factory runs again when the panel is reopened, so nothing durable may live in a view. What has to survive a reopen belongs on the document.

⚠ The type is not always enough, which is what Accepts is for. The scene and the prefab kinds both open a SceneDocument — the type is sealed, and what tells them apart is the writer it was given — so two views are registered under one type and each says which of the documents is its own. Doc 50 § D4's "keyed by document Type" was measured against that and is right for the other twenty-six.
