    @remarks
        The difference between a Skeleton and a SkeletonInstance is that the
        Skeleton is the 'master' version much like Mesh is a 'master' version of
        Entity. Many SkeletonInstance objects can be based on a single Skeleton, 
        and are copies of it when created. Any changes made to this are not
        reflected in the master copy. The exception is animations; these are
        shared on the Skeleton itself and may not be modified here.
