10    * Interface for associating a SAX event with a document location.
11    *
12    * <blockquote>
13    * <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
14    * Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
15    * See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>

17    * </blockquote>
18    *
19    * <p>If a SAX parser provides location information to the SAX
20    * application, it does so by implementing this interface and then
21    * passing an instance to the application using the content
22    * handler's {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#setDocumentLocator
23    * setDocumentLocator} method. The application can use the
24    * object to obtain the location of any other SAX event
25    * in the XML source document.</p>
26    *
27    * <p>Note that the results returned by the object will be valid only
28    * during the scope of each callback method: the application
29    * will receive unpredictable results if it attempts to use the
30    * locator at any other time, or after parsing completes.</p>
31    *
32    * <p>SAX parsers are not required to supply a locator, but they are
33    * very strongly encouraged to do so. If the parser supplies a
34    * locator, it must do so before reporting any other document events.
35    * If no locator has been set by the time the application receives
36    * the {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#startDocument startDocument}
37    * event, the application should assume that a locator is not
38    * available.</p>
