At first glance I don't think there's a good way to avoid defining a
new element to give us side-only (not edge-only in 3D, right?) bases;
but I'm Cc'ing to libmesh-devel in case someone has an idea I've
missed.

Subject: Trace Elements

Roy,
I've got some degree of success with Convection-Diffusion with DPG, at least 
for first order. I am having an issue when it comes to second or
higher order representations of the variables, namely the trace variables. 
These are technically only defined on element edges, so any bubbles in
the basis never get constrained. It seems like I should define a new 
TRACE_HIERARCHIC element where I just remove any bubbles, but I'm not sure if
this is the most natural solution. Perhaps libMesh has some better way of 
implementing this like somehow prescribing edge based elements?

What do you think?
