/**
 *  <code>LSSerializerFilter</code>s provide applications the ability to 
 * examine nodes as they are being serialized and decide what nodes should 
 * be serialized or not. The <code>LSSerializerFilter</code> interface is 
 * based on the <code>NodeFilter</code> interface defined in [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range-20001113'>DOM Level 2 Traversal and      Range</a>]
 * . 
 * <p> <code>Document</code>, <code>DocumentType</code>, 
 * <code>DocumentFragment</code>, <code>Notation</code>, <code>Entity</code>
 * , and children of <code>Attr</code> nodes are not passed to the filter. 
 * The child nodes of an <code>EntityReference</code> node are only passed 
 * to the filter if the <code>EntityReference</code> node is skipped by the 
 * method <code>LSParserFilter.acceptNode()</code>. 
 * <p> When serializing an <code>Element</code>, the element is passed to the 
 * filter before any of its attributes are passed to the filter. Namespace 
 * declaration attributes, and default attributes (except in the case when "
 * discard-default-content" is set to <code>false</code>), are never passed 
 * to the filter. 
 * <p> The result of any attempt to modify a node passed to a 
 * <code>LSSerializerFilter</code> is implementation dependent. 
 * <p> DOM applications must not raise exceptions in a filter. The effect of 
 * throwing exceptions from a filter is DOM implementation dependent. 
 * <p> For efficiency, a node passed to the filter may not be the same as the 
 * one that is actually in the tree. And the actual node (node object 
 * identity) may be reused during the process of filtering and serializing a 
 * document. 
 * <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
and Save Specification</a>.
