9  * This interface is OBSOLETE and in the process of being REMOVED.
10  * Do NOT implement!
11  *
12  * This file declares the concrete HTMLContentSink class.
13  * This class is used during the parsing process as the
14  * primary interface between the parser and the content
15  * model.
16  *
17  * After the tokenizer completes, the parser iterates over
18  * the known token list. As the parser identifies valid
19  * elements, it calls the contentsink interface to notify
20  * the content model that a new node or child node is being
21  * created and added to the content model.
22  *
23  * The HTMLContentSink interface assumes 4 underlying
24  * containers: HTML, HEAD, BODY and FRAMESET. Before
25  * accessing any these, the parser will call the appropriate
26  * OpennsIHTMLContentSink method: OpenHTML,OpenHead,OpenBody,OpenFrameSet;
27  * likewise, the ClosensIHTMLContentSink version will be called when the
28  * parser is done with a given section.
29  *
30  * IMPORTANT: The parser may Open each container more than
31  * once! This is due to the irregular nature of HTML files.
32  * For example, it is possible to encounter plain text at
33  * the start of an HTML document (that precedes the HTML tag).
34  * Such text is treated as if it were part of the body.
35  * In such cases, the parser will Open the body, pass the text-
36  * node in and then Close the body. The body will likely be
37  * re-Opened later when the actual <BODY> tag has been seen.
38  *
39  * Containers within the body are Opened and Closed
40  * using the OpenContainer(...) and CloseContainer(...) calls.
41  * It is assumed that the document or contentSink is
42  * maintaining its state to manage where new content should
43  * be added to the underlying document.
44  *
45  * NOTE: OpenHTML() and OpenBody() may get called multiple times
46  *       in the same document. That's fine, and it doesn't mean
47  *       that we have multiple bodies or HTML's.
48  *
49  * NOTE: I haven't figured out how sub-documents (non-frames)
50  *       are going to be handled. Stay tuned.
