   28    * Streaming validator that works on SAX stream.
   29    * 
   30    * <p>
   31    * A {@link ValidatorHandler} object is a thread-unsafe, non-reentrant object.
   32    * In other words, it is the application's responsibility to make
   33    * sure that one {@link ValidatorHandler} object is not used from
   34    * more than one thread at any given time.
   35    * 
   36    * <p>
   37    * {@link ValidatorHandler} checks if the SAX events follow 
   38    * the set of constraints described in the associated {@link Schema},
   39    * and additionally it may modify the SAX events (for example
   40    * by adding default values, etc.)
   41    * 
   42    * <p>
   43    * {@link ValidatorHandler} extends from {@link ContentHandler},
   44    * but it refines the underlying {@link ContentHandler} in
   45    * the following way:
   46    * <ol>
   47    *  <li>startElement/endElement events must receive non-null String
   48    *      for <code>uri</code>, <code>localName</code>, and <code>qname</code>,
   49    *      even though SAX allows some of them to be null.
   50    *      Similarly, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler} will receive non-null
   51    *      Strings for all three parameters.
   52    * 
   53    *  <li>Applications must ensure that {@link ValidatorHandler}'s
   54    *      {@link ContentHandler#startPrefixMapping(String,String)} and
   55    *      {@link ContentHandler#endPrefixMapping(String)} are invoked
   56    *      properly. Similarly, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler}
   57    *      will receive startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
   58    *      If the {@link ValidatorHandler} introduces additional namespace
   59    *      bindings, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler} will receive
   60    *      additional startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
   61    * 
   62    *  <li>{@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} for the
   63    *      {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)} method
   64    *      may or may not include xmlns* attributes.
   65    * </ol>
   66    * 
   67    * <p>
   68    * A {@link ValidatorHandler} is automatically reset every time
   69    * the startDocument method is invoked.
   70    * 
   71    * <h2>Recognized Properties and Features</h2>
   72    * <p>
   73    * This spec defines the following feature that must be recognized
   74    * by all {@link ValidatorHandler} implementations.
   75    * 
   76    * <h3><code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes</code></h3>
   77    * <p>
   78    * This feature controls how a {@link ValidatorHandler} introduces
   79    * namespace bindings that were not present in the original SAX event
   80    * stream.
   81    * When this feature is set to true, it must make
   82    * sure that the user's {@link ContentHandler} will see 
   83    * the corresponding <code>xmlns*</code> attribute in
   84    * the {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} object of the
   85    * {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)}
   86    * callback. Otherwise, <code>xmlns*</code> attributes must not be
   87    * added to {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} that's passed to the
   88    * user-specified {@link ContentHandler}.
   89    * <p> 
   90    * (Note that regardless of this switch, namespace bindings are
   91    * always notified to applications through 
   92    * {@link ContentHandler#startPrefixMapping(String,String)} and
   93    * {@link ContentHandler#endPrefixMapping(String)} methods of the
   94    * {@link ContentHandler} specified by the user.)
   95    * 
   96    * <p>
   97    * Note that this feature does <em>NOT</em> affect the way
   98    * a {@link ValidatorHandler} receives SAX events. It merely
   99    * changes the way it augments SAX events.
  100    * 
  101    * <p>This feature is set to <code>false</code> by default.</p>
