/**
 * <p>Enables JAXB unmarshalling of a root document containing optimized binary data formats.</p>
 *
 * <p>This API enables an efficient cooperative processing of optimized
 * binary data formats between a JAXB 2.0 implementation and MIME-based package
 * processor (MTOM/XOP and WS-I AP 1.0). JAXB unmarshals the body of a package, delegating the
 * understanding of the packaging format being used to a MIME-based
 * package processor that implements this abstract class.</p>
 *
 * <p>This abstract class identifies if a package requires XOP processing, {@link #isXOPPackage()} and provides retrieval of binary content stored as attachments by content-id.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Identifying the content-id, cid, to pass to <code>getAttachment*(String cid)</code></h2>
 * <ul>
 * <li>
 * For XOP processing, the infoset representation of the cid is described
 * in step 2a in
 * <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/REC-xop10-20050125/#interpreting_xop_packages">Section 3.2 Interpreting XOP Packages</a>
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * For WS-I AP 1.0, the cid is identified as an element or attribute of
 * type <code>ref:swaRef </code> specified in
 * <a href="http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/AttachmentsProfile-1.0-2004-08-24.html#Referencing_Attachments_from_the_SOAP_Envelope">Section 4.4 Referencing Attachments from the SOAP Envelope</a>
