      * Creates a new binding. The locator is used to identify the <em>type</em> of binding to
 31   
      * create as well as configure the binding instance. The locator is either a literal value
 32   
      * (resulting in a {@link org.apache.tapestry.binding.LiteralBinding literal binding}) or
 33   
      * consists of prefix and a path, i.e., <code>ognl:myProperty</code>.

 35   
      * When a prefix exists and is identified, it is used to select the correct
 36   
      * {@link BindingFactory}, and the remainder of the path (i.e., <code>myProperty</code)
 37   
      * is passed to the factory.  An unrecognized prefix is treated as a literal value
 38   
      * (it is often "javascript:" or "http:", etc.).
 39   
      * 
 40   
      * @param component the component for which the binding is created; the component is used
 41   
      * as a kind of context for certain types of bindings (for example, the root object when
 42   
      * evaluating OGNL expressions).
 43   
      * @param description {@link IBinding#getDescription() description} for the new binding
 44   
      * @param reference the binding reference used to create the binding, possibly including a prefix to define the type.
 45   
      * If the reference does not include a prefix, then  the defaultBindingType is used as the prefix
 46   
      * @param defaultbindingType binding type to use when no prefix is provided in the reference
 47   
      * or doesn't match a known binding factory.
 48   
      * @param location location used to report errors in the binding
