48 * <code>LSParserFilter</code>s provide applications the ability to examine
49 * nodes as they are being constructed while parsing. As each node is
50 * examined, it may be modified or removed, or the entire parse may be
51 * terminated early.
52 * <p> At the time any of the filter methods are called by the parser, the
53 * owner Document and DOMImplementation objects exist and are accessible.
54 * The document element is never passed to the <code>LSParserFilter</code>
55 * methods, i.e. it is not possible to filter out the document element.
56 * <code>Document</code>, <code>DocumentType</code>, <code>Notation</code>,
57 * <code>Entity</code>, and <code>Attr</code> nodes are never passed to the
58 * <code>acceptNode</code> method on the filter. The child nodes of an
59 * <code>EntityReference</code> node are passed to the filter if the
60 * parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-entities'>
61 * 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'>
62 * entities</a>", unexpanded entity reference nodes are never discarded and are always
63 * passed to the filter.
64 * <p> All validity checking while parsing a document occurs on the source
65 * document as it appears on the input stream, not on the DOM document as it
66 * is built in memory. With filters, the document in memory may be a subset
67 * of the document on the stream, and its validity may have been affected by
68 * the filtering.
69 * <p> All default attributes must be present on elements when the elements
70 * are passed to the filter methods. All other default content must be
71 * passed to the filter methods.
72 * <p> DOM applications must not raise exceptions in a filter. The effect of
73 * throwing exceptions from a filter is DOM implementation dependent.
74 * <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
