/**
 * XMLString is a structure used to pass character arrays. However,
 * XMLStringBuffer is a buffer in which characters can be appended
 * and extends XMLString so that it can be passed to methods
 * expecting an XMLString object. This is a safe operation because
 * it is assumed that any callee will <strong>not</strong> modify
 * the contents of the XMLString structure.
 * <p> 
 * The contents of the string are managed by the string buffer. As
 * characters are appended, the string buffer will grow as needed.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> Never set the <code>ch</code>, 
 * <code>offset</code>, and <code>length</code> fields directly.
 * These fields are managed by the string buffer. In order to reset
 * the buffer, call <code>clear()</code>.

/**
 * This class is used as a structure to pass text contained in the underlying
 * character buffer of the scanner. The offset and length fields allow the
 * buffer to be re-used without creating new character arrays.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
 * should consider the contents read-only and not make any modifications
 * to the contents of the buffer. The method receiving this structure
 * should also not modify the offset and length if this structure (or
 * the values of this structure) are passed to another method.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note:</strong> Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
 * are required to copy the information out of the buffer if it is to be
 * saved for use beyond the scope of the method. The contents of the 
 * structure are volatile and the contents of the character buffer cannot
 * be assured once the method that is passed this structure returns.
 * Therefore, methods passed this structure should not save any reference
 * to the structure or the character array contained in the structure.
