/** specifies a SAX parser that uses integer values for known XML names
    (elements, attributes and attribute values). The parser also handles
    namespaces and allows to have individual contexts for each XML element.

    <p>Before parsing is possible you have to set your
    <type>XFastDocumentHandler</type> using <member>setFastDocumentHandler</member>.

    <p>Parsing starts with calling <member>parseStream</member>. If the parser
    finds a valid XML file with the given <type>InputSource</type>, it calls
    <member>XFastDocumentHandler::startDocument</member> first.

    <p>This parser generates either "fast" events that use integer token
    values for namespaces, elements and attributes or "unknown" events for
    elements that are unknown.

    <p>A namespace is unknown if the namespace URL was not registered with
    <member>registerNamespace</member>.

    <p>An element is unknown if no <type>XFastTokenHandler</type> is set
    or if the <type>XFastTokenHandler</type> does not return a valid
    identifier for the elements local name. An element is also unknown if
    the elements local name is known but it uses a namespace that is unknown.

    <p>Setting a <type>XFastTokenHandler</type> with <member>setTokenHandler</member>
    is optional, but without a <type>XFastTokenHandler</type> you will only
    get unknown sax events. This can be useful if you are only interested
    in the namespace handling and/or the context feature.

    <p>For each element the parser sends a create child element event to the
    elements parent context by calling
    <member>XFastContextHandler::createFastChildContext</member> for known
    elements or <member>XFastContextHandler::createUnknownChildContext</member>
    for unknown elements.
    <br>The parent context for the root element is the <type>XFastDocumentHandler</type>
    itself.

    <p>If the parent context returns an empty reference, no further events for
    the element and all of its children are created.

    <p>If a valid context is returned this context gets a start event by a call to
    <member>XFastContextHandler::startFastElement</member> for known elements or
    <member>XFastContextHandler::startUnknownElement</member> for unknown elements.

    <p>After processing all its child elements the context gets an end event by a call to
    <member>XFastContextHandler::endFastElement</member> for known elements or
    <member>XFastContextHandler::endUnknownElement</member> for unknown elements.

    <p>It is valid to return one instance of <type>XFastContextHandler</type> more
    than once. It is even possible to only use the <type>XFastDocumentHandler</type>
    by always returning a reference to itself for each create child context event.

    <p>After the last element is processed the parser generates an end document
    event at the <type>XFastDocumentHandler</type> by calling
    <member>XFastDocumentHandler::endDocument</member>.
