	That would be good, though to maximize portability e.g. JDK 1.1 etc, would
it be better to do:

	URLConnection getConnection(String namespaceURI,String arcrole);

Alternatively define a Resource class:

package org.rddl;

interface Resource {
	String getURI();
	String getHref();
	String getArcrole();
	String getRole();
	String getContentType();
	InputStream getInputStream();
	URLConnection getConnection();
}
class RDDLFilter extends SAX2Filter {
	Resource getResource(String arcroleURI);
	void parse(String namespaceURI);
};
