http://xml.apache.org/commons/components/external/: xml-commons provides an Apache-hosted set of DOM, SAX, and JAXP interfaces for use in other xml-based projects. Our hope is that we can standardize on both a common version and packaging scheme for these critical XML standards interfaces to make the lives of both our developers and users easier. The External Components portion of xml-commons contains interfaces that are defined by external standards organizations. For DOM, that's the W3C; for SAX it's David Megginson and sax.sourceforge.net; for JAXP it's Sun.

 Inline style information attached to elements is exposed through the 
style attribute. This represents the contents of the STYLE 
attribute for HTML elements (or elements in other schemas or DTDs which 
use the STYLE attribute in the same way). The expectation is that an 
instance of the ElementCSSInlineStyle interface can be obtained by using 
binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the Element interface 
when the element supports inline CSS style informations.
