When the above feature is set to 1 (true)  the parser does not call 
the  endElement(self) function. 

Example code:

class myParser(ContentHandler):
	def __init__(self):
		pass

	def startElement(self, name):
		print 'start:', name
	
	def endElement(self, name):
		print 'end:', name
  

With feature_validation set to false (o) or removing the line 
completely ... the result is:

start: taga
start: tagb
end: tagb
end: taga

With feature_validation set to true (1) the result is:

start: taga
start: tagb

Example code:

class myParser(ContentHandler):
	def __init__(self):
		pass

	def setDocumentLocator(self, locator):
		self.locator = locator

	def startElement(self, name):
		print 'start:', name
		print self.locator.getLineNumber()
	
	def endElement(self, name):
		print 'end:', name
		
Running the above results in a self.locator does not have the property 
getLineNumber() error.
