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+ * This interface is OBSOLETE and in the process of being REMOVED.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