/**
 * Contains context information for validating XML Signatures. This interface
 * is primarily intended for type-safety.
 *
 * Note that XMLValidateContext instances can contain 
 * information and state specific to the XML signature structure it is 
 * used with. The results are unpredictable if an 
 * XMLValidateContext is used with different signature structures 
 * (for example, you should not use the same XMLValidateContext 
 * instance to validate two different {@link XMLSignature} objects).
 * 

 * Supported Properties
 * 
The following properties can be set by an application using the 
 * {@link #setProperty setProperty} method.
 * 

 *   javax.xml.crypto.dsig.cacheReference: value must be a
 *	{@link Boolean}. This property controls whether or not the
 *	{@link Reference#validate Reference.validate} method will cache the 
 *	dereferenced content and pre-digested input for subsequent retrieval via
 *      the {@link Reference#getDereferencedData Reference.getDereferencedData}
 *	and {@link Reference#getDigestInputStream 
 *	Reference.getDigestInputStream} methods. The default value if not 
 *	specified is Boolean.FALSE.
