/**
 * A SAX filter that strips out redundant namespace declarations.
 *
 * <p>
 * It handles both duplicate declarations (i.e. a namespace already declared by a
 * parent element) and empty namespaces scopes (i.e. start/stopPrefixMapping with
 * no element inbetween) that can be produced by some components (e.g. JXTG or
 * BrowserUpdateTransformer). Such empty scopes confuse the Xalan serializer which
 * then produces weird namespace declarations (<code>xmlns:%@$#^@#="%@$#^@#"</code>).
 *
 * <p>
 * This is a the most simple use of {@link NamespacesTable}.
