    45  *  This interface represents an output destination for data.
       
    46  * <p> This interface allows an application to encapsulate information about
       
    47  * an output destination in a single object, which may include a URI, a byte
       
    48  * stream (possibly with a specified encoding), a base URI, and/or a
       
    49  * character stream.
       
    50  * <p> The exact definitions of a byte stream and a character stream are
       
    51  * binding dependent.
       
    52  * <p> The application is expected to provide objects that implement this
       
    53  * interface whenever such objects are needed. The application can either
       
    54  * provide its own objects that implement this interface, or it can use the
       
    55  * generic factory method <code>DOMImplementationLS.createLSOutput()</code>
       
    56  * to create objects that implement this interface.
       
    57  * <p> The <code>LSSerializer</code> will use the <code>LSOutput</code> object
       
    58  * to determine where to serialize the output to. The
       
    59  * <code>LSSerializer</code> will look at the different outputs specified in
       
    60  * the <code>LSOutput</code> in the following order to know which one to
       
    61  * output to, the first one that is not null and not an empty string will be
       
    62  * used:
       
    63  * <ol>
       
    64  * <li> <code>LSOutput.characterStream</code>
       
    65  * </li>
       
    66  * <li>
       
    67  * <code>LSOutput.byteStream</code>
       
    68  * </li>
       
    69  * <li> <code>LSOutput.systemId</code>
       
    70  * </li>
       
    71  * </ol>
       
    72  * <p> <code>LSOutput</code> objects belong to the application. The DOM
       
    73  * implementation will never modify them (though it may make copies and
       
    74  * modify the copies, if necessary).
       
    75  * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load
