Yes, just before Christmas we agreed on the list that SAX would not
contain anything that precludes non-Java OO implementations; in
particular, nothing in SAX will require dynamic type-checking.  Since
then, we have also agreed that SAX will not rely on any Java-specific
classes such as java.net.URL or java.lang.Dictionary (though the Java
implementation itself will, of course use any classes that make
sense).


All the best,


David
