I'd like to take the opportunity to thank both Jon Bosak and Tim Bray
publicly for generously offering the use of their xml.* domain names
for the Java implementation of SAX.
Although in fact neither xml.org nor xml.com currently corresponds to
any actual company or organisation, and both would have been
appropriate choices, I think that on balance an *.org domain gives a
greater _appearance_ of neutrality than a *.com domain, and even the
mere appearance of neutrality is essential in a highly-politicised
climate like the Java world: as a result, I propose that the Java
implementation of SAX use the package "org.xml.sax":
org.xml.sax.Parser
org.xml.sax.Application
org.xml.sax.ValueMap
org.xml.sax.AppBase
or
org.xml.sax.Parser
org.xml.sax.EntityHandler
org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
org.xml.sax.ErrorHandler
org.xml.sax.AttributeMap
org.xml.sax.HandlerBase
All the best,
David
