  48:  * Input is sent as an XML request to given URI, and the output of this
  49:  * filter is the parsed response to that request.
  50:  * A connection is opened to the remote URI when the startDocument call is
  51:  * issued through this filter, and the request is finished when the
  52:  * endDocument call is issued.  Events should be written quickly enough to
  53:  * prevent the remote HTTP server from aborting the connection due to
  54:  * inactivity; you may want to buffer text in an earlier pipeline stage.
  55:  * If your application requires validity checking of such
  56:  * outputs, have the output pipeline include a validation stage.
  57:  *
  58:  * <p>In effect, this makes a remote procedure call to the URI, with the
  59:  * request and response document syntax as chosen by the application.
  60:  * <em>Note that all the input events must be seen, and sent to the URI,
  61:  * before the first output event can be seen. </em>  Clients are delayed
  62:  * at least by waiting for the server to respond, constraining concurrency.
  63:  * Services can thus be used to synchronize concurrent activities, and
  64:  * even to prioritize service among different clients.
  65:  *
  66:  * <p> You are advised to avoid restricting yourself to an "RPC" model
  67:  * for distributed computation.  With a World Wide Web, network latencies
  68:  * and failures (e.g. non-availability)
  69:  * are significant; adopting a "procedure" model, rather than a workflow
  70:  * model where bulk requests are sent and worked on asynchronously, is not
  71:  * generally an optimal system-wide architecture.  When the messages may
  72:  * need authentication, such as with an OpenPGP signature, or when server
  73:  * loads don't argue in favor of immediate responses, non-RPC models can
  74:  * be advantageous.  (So-called "peer to peer" computing models are one
  75:  * additional type of model, though too often that term is applied to
  76:  * systems that still have a centralized control structure.)
  77:  *
  78:  * <p> <em>Be strict in what you send, liberal in what you accept,</em> as
  79:  * the Internet tradition goes.  Strictly conformant data should never cause
  80:  * problems to its receiver; make your request pipeline be very strict, and
  81:  * don't compromise on that.  Make your response pipeline strict as well,
  82:  * but be ready to tolerate specific mild, temporary, and well-documented
  83:  * variations from specific communications peers.
