I use http://www.megginson.com/SAX/Java/Javadoc/ as a reference. In this
documentation, the ContentHandler interface has no startElementNS method,
only startElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI, java.lang.String
localName, java.lang.String qName, Attributes atts). 

If I'm not using the right reference, could someone please give me a
pointer to the right one. Otherwise, I do not understand where the
startElementNS method comes from.
