/**
 * Adds convenience methods to base SAX2 Filter implementation.
 *
 * <i>Code and comments adapted from XMLWriter-0.2, written
 * by David Megginson and released into the public domain,
 * without warranty.</i>
 *
 * <p>The convenience methods are provided so that clients do not have to
 * create empty attribute lists or provide empty strings as parameters;
 * for example, the method invocation</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * w.startElement("foo");
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>is equivalent to the regular SAX2 ContentHandler method</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * w.startElement("", "foo", "", new AttributesImpl());
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Except that it is more efficient because it does not allocate
 * a new empty attribute list each time.</p>
 *
 * <p>In fact, there is an even simpler convenience method,
 * <var>dataElement</var>, designed for writing elements that
 * contain only character data.</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * w.dataElement("greeting", "Hello, world!");
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>is equivalent to</p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * w.startElement("greeting");
 * w.characters("Hello, world!");
 * w.endElement("greeting");
 * </pre>
