AbstractRuleImpl provides basic services for Rules implementations.
* Extending this class should make it easier to create a Rules implementation.
AbstractRuleImpl manages the Digester
* and namespaceUri properties.
* If the subclass overrides {@link #registerRule} (rather than {@link #add}),
* then the Digester and namespaceURI of the Rule
* will be set correctly before it is passed to registerRule.
* The subclass can then perform whatever it needs to do to register the rule.
