class XML_API LexicalHandler
	/// This is an optional extension handler for SAX2 to provide lexical information 
	/// about an XML document, such as comments and CDATA section boundaries. 
	/// XML readers are not required to recognize this handler, and it is not part of 
	/// core-only SAX2 distributions.
	/// 
	/// The events in the lexical handler apply to the entire document, not just to the 
	/// document element, and all lexical handler events must appear between the content 
	/// handler's startDocument and endDocument events.
	/// 
	/// To set the LexicalHandler for an XML reader, use the setProperty method with the 
	/// property name http://xml.org/sax/properties/lexical-handler and an object implementing 
	/// this interface (or null) as the value. If the reader does not report lexical events, 
	/// it will throw a SAXNotRecognizedException when you attempt to register the handler.
