Parameters:
prefix - The namespace prefix.
uri - The URI bound to the prefix.
augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
Throws:
XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

element - The name of the element.
attributes - The element attributes.
augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
Throws:
XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
