+ * <p>This was the main event-handling interface for SAX1; in
+ * SAX2, it has been replaced by {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler
+ * ContentHandler}, which provides Namespace support and reporting
+ * of skipped entities.  This interface is included in SAX2 only
+ * to support legacy SAX1 applications.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The order of events in this interface is very important, and
+ * mirrors the order of information in the document itself.  For
+ * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing
+ * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between
+ * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Application writers who do not want to implement the entire
+ * interface can derive a class from HandlerBase, which implements
+ * the default functionality; parser writers can instantiate
+ * HandlerBase to obtain a default handler.  The application can find
+ * the location of any document event using the Locator interface
+ * supplied by the Parser through the setDocumentLocator method.</p>
+ *
+ * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2
+ *             {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler}
+ *             interface, which includes Namespace support.
