Errors raised by invalid method calls during SAX-writer states

Certain methods may only be called when the writer is in certain states. For example, most of the writing methods, like START-ELEMENT, can only be called while WRITE-STATUS is neither SAX-WRITE-IDLE nor SAX-WRITE-COMPLETE.

Table 21–4 describes the invalid method calls WRITE-STATUS vs. methods and attributes.
