For the steps that I put in all the data passes through those steps. The 
Structure listener probably only handles some parts of the data.
I would say the StructureListener and the LayoutManagers are equivalent in 
terms of using the FO Tree and performing tasks with certain parts of the 
FO Tree. Maybe Structure Renderer is a better term.
