/**
 * Wraps any SimpleTag and exposes it using a Tag interface.  This is used
 * to allow collaboration between classic Tag handlers and SimpleTag
 * handlers.
 * <p>
 * Because SimpleTag does not extend Tag, and because Tag.setParent()
 * only accepts a Tag instance, a classic tag handler (one
 * that implements Tag) cannot have a SimpleTag as its parent.  To remedy
 * this, a TagAdapter is created to wrap the SimpleTag parent, and the
 * adapter is passed to setParent() instead.  A classic Tag Handler can
 * call getAdaptee() to retrieve the encapsulated SimpleTag instance.
