Right, of course...

For a nodal FE method, I guess the think to do is to loop over the local 
nodes and lookup the corresponding dof index using Node::dof_number().

In my case, I think there should always be a dof associated with each 
element.  But what happens if I were to use Node::dof_number() for a 
variable/system which does not have a DOF associated with that node?

Thanks,
