     20   <title>Xalan Processor Package.</title>
     21   <body>
     22     <p>Parses an XSLT stylesheet document (which may include and import other stylesheet documents) and produces a StylesheetRoot
     23     (a TRaX Templates object).</p>
     24     
     25     <p>StylesheetProcessor implements the TRaX {@link javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory} interface,
     26     as well as the {@link javax.xml.transform.sax.SAXTransformerFactory} interface. 
     27     It registers the {@link org.apache.xalan.processor.StylesheetHandler} object 
     28     (a TrAX {@link javax.xml.transform.sax.TemplatesHandler} implementation) 
     29     as the SAX ContentHandler for an XMLReader, and uses the XMLReader to parse 
     30     the stylesheet document.</p>
     31     <p>Before parsing the XSLT input, StylesheetHandler assembles an {@link org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLTSchema}, 
     32     which uses {@link org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLTElementDef}
     33     and {@link org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLTAttributeDef} objects to 
     34     recursively define the elements and attributes that an XSLT stylesheet may 
     35     contain. The StylesheetHandler then passes on each parse event to the 
     36     {@link org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLTElementProcessor} which the 
     37     XSLTElementDef assigned to the element associated with that event.</p>
