/**
 * Streaming validator that works on SAX stream.
 * 
 * <p>
 * A {@link ValidatorHandler} object is not thread-safe and not reentrant.
 * In other words, it is the application's responsibility to make
 * sure that one {@link ValidatorHandler} object is not used from
 * more than one thread at any given time.
 * 
 * <p>
 * {@link ValidatorHandler} checks if the SAX events follow 
 * the set of constraints described in the associated {@link Schema},
 * and additionally it may modify the SAX events (for example
 * by adding default values, etc.)
 * 
 * <p>
 * {@link ValidatorHandler} extends from {@link ContentHandler},
 * but it refines the underlying {@link ContentHandler} in
 * the following way:
 * <ol>
 *  <li>startElement/endElement events must receive non-null String
 *      for <code>uri</code>, <code>localName</code>, and <code>qname</code>,
 *      even though SAX allows some of them to be null.
 *      Similarly, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler} will receive non-null
 *      Strings for all three parameters.
 * 
 *  <li>Applications must ensure that {@link ValidatorHandler}'s
 *      {@link ContentHandler#startPrefixMapping(String,String)} and
 *      {@link ContentHandler#endPrefixMapping(String)} are invoked
 *      properly. Similarly, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler}
 *      will receive startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
 *      If the {@link ValidatorHandler} introduces additional namespace
 *      bindings, the user-specified {@link ContentHandler} will receive
 *      additional startPrefixMapping/endPrefixMapping events.
 * 
 *  <li>{@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} for the
 *      {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)} method
 *      may or may not include xmlns* attributes.
 * </ol>
 * 
 * <p>
 * A {@link ValidatorHandler} is automatically reset every time
 * the startDocument method is invoked.
 * 
 * <h2>Recognized Properties and Features</h2>
 * <p>
 * This spec defines the following feature that must be recognized
 * by all {@link ValidatorHandler} implementations.
 * 
 * <h3><code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes</code></h3>
 * <p>
 * This feature controls how a {@link ValidatorHandler} introduces
 * namespace bindings that were not present in the original SAX event
 * stream.
 * When this feature is set to true, it must make
 * sure that the user's {@link ContentHandler} will see 
 * the corresponding <code>xmlns*</code> attribute in
 * the {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} object of the
 * {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)}
 * callback. Otherwise, <code>xmlns*</code> attributes must not be
 * added to {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} that's passed to the
 * user-specified {@link ContentHandler}.
 * <p> 
 * (Note that regardless of this switch, namespace bindings are
 * always notified to applications through 
 * {@link ContentHandler#startPrefixMapping(String,String)} and
 * {@link ContentHandler#endPrefixMapping(String)} methods of the
 * {@link ContentHandler} specified by the user.)
 * 
 * <p>
 * Note that this feature does <em>NOT</em> affect the way
 * a {@link ValidatorHandler} receives SAX events. It merely
 * changes the way it augments SAX events.
 * 
 * <p>This feature is set to <code>false</code> by default.</p>
