                   Many thanks to the entire group that came up with
                   SAX as an API, and then had the foresight to place
                   it into the public domain so that it can become a
                   de-facto standard.  It may not be the best XML API, 
                   but it sure is handy. For more information, see

 * Receive notification of the logical content of a document.
 *
 * <p>This is the main interface that most SAX applications
 * implement: if the application needs to be informed of basic parsing 
 * events, it implements this interface and registers an instance with 
 * the SAX parser using the {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader#setContentHandler 
 * setContentHandler} method.  The parser uses the instance to report 
 * basic document-related events like the start and end of elements 
 * and character data.</p>
 *
 * <p>The order of events in this interface is very important, and
 * mirrors the order of information in the document itself.  For
 * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing
 * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between
 * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.</p>
 *
 * <p>This interface is similar to the now-deprecated SAX 1.0
 * DocumentHandler interface, but it adds support for Namespaces
 * and for reporting skipped entities (in non-validating XML
 * processors).</p>
 *
 * <p>Implementors should note that there is also a 
 * <code>ContentHandler</code> class in the <code>java.net</code>
 * package; that means that it's probably a bad idea to do</p>
 *
 * <pre>import java.net.*;
 * import org.xml.sax.*;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>In fact, "import ...*" is usually a sign of sloppy programming
 * anyway, so the user should consider this a feature rather than a
 * bug.</p>

 * Interface for reading an XML document using callbacks.
 *
 * <p>XMLReader is the interface that an XML parser's SAX2 driver must
 * implement.  This interface allows an application to set and
 * query features and properties in the parser, to register
 * event handlers for document processing, and to initiate
 * a document parse.</p>
 *
 * <p>All SAX interfaces are assumed to be synchronous: the
 * {@link #parse parse} methods must not return until parsing
 * is complete, and readers must wait for an event-handler callback
 * to return before reporting the next event.</p>
 *
 * <p>This interface replaces the (now deprecated) SAX 1.0 {@link
 * org.xml.sax.Parser Parser} interface.  The XMLReader interface
 * contains two important enhancements over the old Parser
 * interface (as well as some minor ones):</p>
 *
 * <ol>
 * <li>it adds a standard way to query and set features and 
 *  properties; and</li>
 * <li>it adds Namespace support, which is required for many
 *  higher-level XML standards.</li>
 * </ol>
 *
 * <p>There are adapters available to convert a SAX1 Parser to
 * a SAX2 XMLReader and vice-versa.</p>
