 * The following CFG gives the proper sequence of method invocation.
 * 
 * <pre>
 * MARSHALLING  :=  ELEMENT
 * ELEMENT      :=  "startElement" NSDECL* "endNamespaceDecls"
 *                        ATTRIBUTE* "endAttributes" BODY "endElement"

 * 
 * BODY         :=  ( "text" | ELEMENT )*
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <p>
 * A marshalling of one element consists of two stages. The first stage is
 * for marshalling attributes and collecting namespace declarations.
 * The second stage is for marshalling characters/child elements of that element.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Observe that multiple invocation of "text" is allowed.
 * 
 * <p>
 * Also observe that the namespace declarations are allowed only between
 * "startElement" and "endAttributes".
