class XML_API InputSource
	/// This class allows a SAX application to encapsulate information about an input 
	/// source in a single object, which may include a public identifier, a system 
	/// identifier, a byte stream (possibly with a specified encoding), and/or a character 
	/// stream.
	/// 
	/// There are two places that the application can deliver an input source to the 
	/// parser: as the argument to the Parser.parse method, or as the return value of the 
	/// EntityResolver::resolveEntity() method.
	/// 
	/// The SAX parser will use the InputSource object to determine how to read XML input. 
	/// If there is a character stream available, the parser will read that stream directly, 
	/// disregarding any text encoding declaration found in that stream. If there is no character 
	/// stream, but there is a byte stream, the parser will use that byte stream, using the 
	/// encoding specified in the InputSource or else (if no encoding is specified) autodetecting 
	/// the character encoding using an algorithm such as the one in the XML specification. 
	/// If neither a character stream nor a byte stream is available, the parser will attempt 
	/// to open a URI connection to the resource identified by the system identifier.
	/// 
	/// An InputSource object belongs to the application: the SAX parser shall never modify it in 
	/// any way (it may modify a copy if necessary). However, standard processing of both byte and 
	/// character streams is to close them on as part of end-of-parse cleanup, so applications should 
	/// not attempt to re-use such streams after they have been handed to a parser.
