The trouble is that this would benefit relatively few people and make
life harder for all the rest. The more we discuss these issues, the
more I think that SAX shouldn't try to be all things to all people --
perhaps we should let the 'S' continue to stand for 'Simple', and
target only the 80% (or 98%, more likely) who care mainly about the
Holy Trinity of elements, attributes, and character data.
All the best,
David
