class XML_API Locator
	/// Interface for associating a SAX event with a document location.
	/// 
	/// If a SAX parser provides location information to the SAX application, it does so by 
	/// implementing this interface and then passing an instance to the application using the 
	/// content handler's setDocumentLocator method. The application can use the object to obtain 
	/// the location of any other SAX event in the XML source document.
	/// 
	/// Note that the results returned by the object will be valid only during the scope of each 
	/// callback method: the application will receive unpredictable results if it attempts to use 
	/// the locator at any other time, or after parsing completes.
	/// 
	/// SAX parsers are not required to supply a locator, but they are very strongly encouraged to 
	/// do so. If the parser supplies a locator, it must do so before reporting any other document 
	/// events. If no locator has been set by the time the application receives the startDocument event, 
	/// the application should assume that a locator is not available.
