/**
 * This interface is meant to be used by a consumer of
 * SAX2 events produced by Xalan, and enables the consumer
 * to get information about the state of the transform.  It
 * is primarily intended as a tooling interface.  A content
 * handler can get a reference to a TransformState by implementing
 * the TransformerClient interface.  Xalan will check for
 * that interface before it calls startDocument, and, if it
 * is implemented, pass in a TransformState reference to the
 * setTransformState method.
 *
 * <p>Note that the current stylesheet and root stylesheet can
 * be retrieved from the ElemTemplateElement obtained from
 * either getCurrentElement() or getCurrentTemplate().</p>
 * 
 * This interface contains only getter methods, any setters are in the interface
 * TransformStateSetter which this interface extends.
 * 
 * @see org.apache.xml.serializer.TransformStateSetter
