The StAXFeatureHandler and StAXPropertyHandler classes are used 
as the base for subclassing most handlers in my design.  
Basically, each StAXFeatureHandler setups up a fresh 
environment which the nested StAXPropertyHandler instances 
modify.  Access outside of the latest top 
StAXPropertyHandler instance is not permitted in the 
current implementation.

One feature of the current implementation is a 
callbackStack.  This was introduced to permit 
StAXPropertyHandler instances to search downward in the 
stack for handlers that provide methods to process data 
obtained by the current handler.  This is a means of 
allowing context sensitivity for child renderers as they 
could be directed to search the stack for nesting handlers 
that do a task with the data.  It has the advantage of 
locating the context sensitive code within the handler that 
creats that context.

It is not compulsory for any property handler to subclass 
StAXPropertyHandler: useful classes like 
StringElementHandlerBase cannot be used simultaneously with 
subclassing from StAXPropertyHandler.  However, if your 
property handler wishes to offer a context to a nested 
class, then it should use StAXPropertyHandler or at least 
use the push and pop methods in StAXFeatureHandler to place 
themselves in the callbackStack so that other classes can 
find it.
