/**
* Streaming validator that works on SAX stream.
*
*
* A {@link ValidatorHandler} object is a thread-unsafe, non-reentrant object.
* 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.
*
*
* {@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.)
*
*
* {@link ValidatorHandler} extends from {@link ContentHandler},
* but it refines the underlying {@link ContentHandler} in
* the following way:
*
* - startElement/endElement events must receive non-null String
* for
uri, localName, and qname,
* 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.
*
* - 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.
*
*
- {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} for the
* {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)} method
* may or may not include xmlns* attributes.
*
*
*
* A {@link ValidatorHandler} is automatically reset every time
* the startDocument method is invoked.
*
*
Recognized Properties and Features
*
* This spec defines the following feature that must be recognized
* by all {@link ValidatorHandler} implementations.
*
*
http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes
*
* 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 xmlns* attribute in
* the {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} object of the
* {@link ContentHandler#startElement(String,String,String,Attributes)}
* callback. Otherwise, xmlns* attributes must not be
* added to {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes} that's passed to the
* user-specified {@link ContentHandler}.
*
* (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.)
*
*
* Note that this feature does NOT affect the way
* a {@link ValidatorHandler} receives SAX events. It merely
* changes the way it augments SAX events.
*
*
This feature is set to false by default.

*
- {@link ValidatorHandler} may not introduce new elements that
* were not present in the input.
*
*
- {@link ValidatorHandler} may not remove attributes that were
* present in the input.
*
*
*
* When a callback method on the specified {@link ContentHandler}
