If a chain is constructed by some generic chain construction facility
how will a ContentHandler ever even recieve a reference to its parent?
ContentHandler does not have a getParent()/setParent() facility and has
no way to recieve a reference to its parent in a well defined manner.
The only way to get around this is to use an odd sort of Filter that 
doesn't forward events as the terminator for the chain. Is that the 
intent?
