Can be set to either STATIC for values that do not change over the lifetime of the object,
or DYNAMIC for values that vary over the lifetime of the object. The DataVariance value
can be used be routines such as optimzation codes that wish to share static data.

<DD>Object destructor. Note, is protected so that Objects cannot
be deleted other than by being dereferenced and the reference
count being zero (see osg::Referenced), preventing the deletion
of nodes which are still in use. This also means that
Node's cannot be created on stack i.e Node node will not compile,
forcing all nodes to be created on the heap i.e Node* node
= new Node().
