An XML filter is like an XML reader, except that it obtains its
events from another XML reader rather than a primary source like
an XML document or database. Filters can modify a stream of
events as they pass on to the final application.
This method allows the application to query the parent
reader (which may be another filter). It is generally a
bad idea to perform any operations on the parent reader
directly: they should all pass through this filter.
