LexicalHandler Interface
The LexicalHandler is an optional extension handler for SAX2 that provides 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.
Events in the LexicalHandler interface apply to an entire document, not just to the document element. All LexicalHandler events must appear between the content handler’s startDocument and endDocument events.
