53    If a handler provides optional arguments ("?") or jump marks ("#") depends from his

75        Sometimes it can be usefull for a handler object, to know something about the
76        environment, in which it runs - especily the frame. For this case the generic
77        code (which uses the handler) will ask for this optional interface and use it, if it exist.
78        Following parameters are passed to the service:
79        <ul>
80        <li>sequence< any >[0] => the frame for which this ProtocolHandler was created [com.sun.star.frame.XFrame]</li>
81        </ul>
82        </p>
83
84        <p>
85        Please note: if this mechanism is used it seams not usefull (nor possible) to implement a ProtocolHandler
86        as a singleton. Otherwhise the implementation can't distinguish between different environments
87        and her corresponding dispatch requests.
