/**
* Simple interface to be used for registering objects that
* can construct {@link XMLOutputFactory2} instances with OSGi framework.
* The added indirection (provider constructing factory) is needed because
* of impedance between OSGi service objects (which are essentially
* singletons) and Stax/Stax2 factories which are not.
*
* Note: implementations of provider should NOT use introspection
* via {@link javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory#newInstance} as it will
* not work with OSGi. Instead, providers should directly construct
* instances of concrete factory they represent. That is, there will
* be one provider implementation per concrete Stax/Stax2 implementation
