+The nodes of a curved element are numbered in the following order:
+@itemize --
+@item the element principal vertices;
+@item the internal nodes for each edge;
+@item the internal nodes for each face;
+@item the volume internal nodes.
+@end itemize
+
+The numbering for face and volume internal nodes is recursive, ie. the
+numbering follows that of the nodes of an embedded face / volume. The
+higher order nodes are assumed to be equispaced on the element.
