 * Most likely, the OFXMLElementBuilder was used to build XML only of a child

 * set to the OFXMLElementBuilder when a certain element is found, this can be
 * used then to set the delegate back after that certain element has been
 * closed.
 *
 * If this method is not implemented in the delegate, the default is to throw
 * an OFMalformedXMLException.
