 * implements the Tag and IterationTag interfaces and adds additional
 * convenience methods including getter methods for the properties in
 * Tag.  TagSupport has one static method that is included to

     *
     * <p>
     * The current version of the specification only provides one formal
     * way of indicating the observable type of a tag handler: its
     * tag handler implementation class, described in the tag-class
     * subelement of the tag element.  This is extended in an
     * informal manner by allowing the tag library author to
     * indicate in the description subelement an observable type.
     * The type should be a subtype of the tag handler implementation
     * class or void.
     * This addititional constraint can be exploited by a
     * specialized container that knows about that specific tag library,
     * as in the case of the JSP standard tag library.
     *
     * <p>
     * When a tag library author provides information on the
     * observable type of a tag handler, client programmatic code
     * should adhere to that constraint.  Specifically, the Class
     * passed to findAncestorWithClass should be a subtype of the
