  \class QAbstractXmlReceiver
  \brief The QAbstractXmlReceiver class provides a callback interface
         for transforming the output of a QXmlQuery.
  \reentrant
  \since 4.4
  \ingroup xml-tools

  QAbstractXmlReceiver is an abstract base class that provides
  a callback interface for receiving an \l {XQuery Sequence}
  {XQuery sequence}, usually the output of an QXmlQuery, and
  transforming that sequence into a structure of your choosing,
  usually XML. Consider the example:

  \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_xmlpatterns_api_qabstractxmlreceiver.cpp 0

  First it constructs a \l {QXmlQuery} {query} that gets the
  first paragraph from document \c index.html. Then it constructs
  an \l {QXmlSerializer} {XML serializer} with the \l {QXmlQuery}
  {query} and \l {QIODevice} {myOutputDevice} (Note the
  \l {QXmlSerializer} {serializer} is an \e {XML receiver},
  ie a subclass of QAbstractXmlReceiver). Finally, it
  \l {QXmlQuery::evaluateTo()} {evaluates} the
  \l {QXmlQuery} {query}, producing an ordered sequence of calls
  to the \l {QXmlSerializer} {serializer's} callback functions.
  The sequence of callbacks transforms the query output to XML
  and writes it to \l {QIODevice} {myOutputDevice}.

  Although the example uses \l {QXmlQuery} to produce the sequence
  of callbacks to functions in QAbstractXmlReceiver, you can call
  the callback functions directly as long as your sequence of
  calls represents a valid \l {XQuery Sequence} {XQuery sequence}.

  \target XQuery Sequence
  \section1 XQuery Sequences

  An XQuery \a sequence is an ordered collection of zero, one,
  or many \e items. Each \e item is either an \e {atomic value}
  or a \e {node}. An \e {atomic value} is a simple data value.

  There are six kinds of \e nodes.

  \list

  \o An \e {Element Node} represents an XML element.

  \o An \e {Attribute Node} represents an XML attribute.

  \o A \e {Document Node} represents an entire XML document.

  \o A \e {Text Node} represents character data (element content).

  \o A \e {Processing Instruction Node} represents an XML
  processing instruction, which is used in an XML document
  to tell the application reading the document to perform
  some action. A typical example is to use a processing
  instruction to tell the application to use a particular
  XSLT stylesheet to display the document.

  \o And a \e {Comment node} represents an XML comment.

  \endlist

  The \e sequence of \e nodes and \e {atomic values} obeys
  the following rules. Note that \e {Namespace Node} refers
  to a special \e {Attribute Node} with name \e {xmlns}.

  \list

  \o Each \e node appears in the \e sequence before its children
  and their descendants appear.

  \o A \e node's descendants appear in the \e sequence before
  any of its siblings appear.

  \o A \e {Document Node} represents an entire document. Zero or
  more \e {Document Nodes} can appear in a \e sequence, but they
  can only be top level items (i.e., a \e {Document Node} can't
  be a child of another \e node.

  \o \e {Namespace Nodes} immediately follow the \e {Element Node}
   with which they are associated.

  \o \e {Attribute Nodes} immediately follow the \e {Namespace Nodes}
   of the element with which they are associated, or...

   \o If there are no \e {Namespace Nodes} following an element, then
   the \e {Attribute Nodes} immediately follow the element.

   \o An \e {atomic value} can only appear as a top level \e item,
   i.e., it can't appear as a child of a \e node.

   \o \e {Processing Instruction Nodes} do not have children, and
   their parent is either a \e {Document Node} or an \e {Element
   Node}.

   \o \e {Comment Nodes} do not have children, and
   their parent is either a \e {Document Node} or an \e {Element
   Node}.

  \endlist

  The \e sequence of \e nodes and \e {atomic values} is sent to
  an QAbstractXmlReceiver (QXmlSerializer in
  the example above) as a sequence of calls to the receiver's
  callback functions. The mapping of callback functions to
  sequence items is as follows.

  \list

  \o startDocument() and endDocument() are called for each
  \e {Document Node} in the \e sequence. endDocument() is not
  called until all the \e {Document Node's} children have
  appeared in the \e sequence.

  \o startElement() and endElement() are called for each
  \e {Element Node}. endElement() is not called until all the
  \e {Element Node's} children have appeared in the \e sequence.

  \o attribute() is called for each \e {Attribute Node}.

  \o comment() is called for each \e {Comment Node}.

  \o characters() is called for each \e {Text Node}.

  \o processingInstruction() is called for each \e {Processing
  Instruction Node}.

  \o namespaceBinding() is called for each \e {Namespace Node}.

  \o atomicValue() is called for each \e {atomic value}.

  \endlist

  This callback is called when a processing instruction
  appears in the \l {XQuery Sequence} {sequence}.
  A processing instruction is used in an XML document
  to tell the application reading the document to
  perform some action. A typical example is to use a
  processing instruction to tell the application to use a
  particular XSLT stylesheet to process the document.

  \quotefile doc/src/snippets/patternist/xmlStylesheet.xq

  \a target is the \l {QXmlName} {name} of the processing
  instruction. Its \e prefix and \e {namespace URI} must both
  be empty. Its \e {local name} is the target. In the above
  example, the name is \e {xml-stylesheet}.

  The \a value specifies the action to be taken. Note that
  the \a value must not contain the string "?>". In the above
  example, the \a value is \e{type="test/xsl" href="formatter.xsl}.

  Generally, use of processing instructions should be avoided,
  because they are not namespace aware and in many contexts
  are stripped out anyway. Processing instructions can often
  be replaced with elements from a custom namespace.
 */

/*!
  \fn void QAbstractXmlReceiver::atomicValue(const QVariant &value)

  This callback is called when an atomic value appears in the \l
  {XQuery Sequence} {sequence}. The \a value is a simple \l {QVariant}
  {data value}. It is guaranteed to be \l {QVariant::isValid()}
  {valid}.
 */

/*!
  \fn virtual void QAbstractXmlReceiver::namespaceBinding(const QXmlName &name)

  This callback is called when a namespace binding is in scope of an
  element. A namespace is defined by a URI. In the \l {QXmlName}
  \a name, the value of \l {QXmlName::namespaceUri()} is that URI. The
  value of \l {QXmlName::prefix()} is the prefix that the URI is bound
  to. The local name is insignificant and can be an arbitrary value.

   This function may be called instead of characters() if, and only if,

   \e Whitespace refers to a sequence of characters that are either

   However, there is no guarantee or requirement that whitespaceOnly()
