| Furthermore, I've been thinking of proposing that the SAX2
| interfaces be specified in IDL rather than Java (or at least
| publishing an IDL translatiuon when the interfaces are stabilized),
| and your proposal wouldn't wash in IDL.

Many things in SAX won't wash in IDL, such as the use of the
Java-specific InputStream, Reader and Locale objects. 

Also, IDL has a problem in that it's sort of a least common
denominator, and thus leaves out many useful language-specific things.
So you'd probably want to do a manual translation anyway.

If there ever is a published SAX spec I think it should use IDL to be
politically correct and point out potential language-mapping problems.
However, the actual utility of IDL I think is low in this particular
case.
