| /** |
| * <code>LSParserFilter</code>s provide applications the ability to examine |
| * nodes as they are being constructed while parsing. As each node is |
| * examined, it may be modified or removed, or the entire parse may be |
| * terminated early. |
| * <p> At the time any of the filter methods are called by the parser, the |
| * owner Document and DOMImplementation objects exist and are accessible. |
| * The document element is never passed to the <code>LSParserFilter</code> |
| * methods, i.e. it is not possible to filter out the document element. |
| * <code>Document</code>, <code>DocumentType</code>, <code>Notation</code>, |
| * <code>Entity</code>, and <code>Attr</code> nodes are never passed to the |
| * <code>acceptNode</code> method on the filter. The child nodes of an |
| * <code>EntityReference</code> node are passed to the filter if the |
| * parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-entities'> |
| * entities</a>" is set to <code>false</code>. Note that, as described by the parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-entities'> |
| * entities</a>", unexpanded entity reference nodes are never discarded and are always |
| * passed to the filter. |
| * <p> All validity checking while parsing a document occurs on the source |
| * document as it appears on the input stream, not on the DOM document as it |
| * is built in memory. With filters, the document in memory may be a subset |
| * of the document on the stream, and its validity may have been affected by |
| * the filtering. |
| * <p> All default attributes must be present on elements when the elements |
| * are passed to the filter methods. All other default content must be |
| * passed to the filter methods. |
| * <p> DOM applications must not raise exceptions in a filter. The effect of |
| * throwing exceptions from a filter is DOM implementation dependent. |
| * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load |
| and Save Specification</a>. |
