* This element overcomes the sign conflict issues present in
- * traditional Nédélec elements which arise from the edge and face
- * parameterizations used in the basis functions. Therefore, this

- * The way this element addresses the sign conflict problem is to assign
- * local edges and faces a globally defined orientation for all cells. The
- * local edge orientation is always chosen such that the first vertex defining
- * the edge is always chosen to be that which has the highest global vertex
- * numbering, with the second being that which has the lowest global vertex
