public interface NameParser
This interface is used for parsing names from a hierarchical
 namespace.  The NameParser contains knowledge of the syntactic
 information (like left-to-right orientation, name separator, etc.)
 needed to parse names.
 The equals() method, when used to compare two NameParsers, returns
 true if and only if they serve the same namespace.
