/**
 * This interface provides a base support for the {@link SAXOutputter}.
 * 
 * People who want to create a custom SAXOutputProcessor for SAXOutputter are
 * able to implement this interface with the following notes and restrictions:
 * 

 * The SAXOutputter will call one, and only one of the
 * process(SAXTarget,Format,*) methods each time the SAXOutputter
 * is requested to output some JDOM content. It is thus safe to assume that a
 * process(SAXTarget,Format,*) method can set up any infrastructure
 * needed to process the content, and that the SAXOutputter will not re-call
 * that method, or some other process(SAXTarget,Format,*) method
 * for the same output sequence.
 * 
The process methods should be thread-safe and reentrant: The same
 * process(SAXTarget,Format,*) method may (will) be called
 * concurrently from different threads.
 * 
 * 
 * The {@link AbstractSAXOutputProcessor} class is a full implementation of this
 * interface and is fully customisable. People who want a custom SAXOutputter
 * are encouraged to extend the AbstractSAXOutputProcessor rather than do a full
 * re-implementation of this interface.
