Slightly.
Consider the case of an XML parser implementing org.xml.sax.Parser.
Should a DOM parser have methods to register stream based handlers?
Yet, besides the handler registration, DOM parsers would benefit
from a standard programmatic way of initiating a parse, resolving
entities, and handling errors.
And the factoring would not have to sacrifice compatibility. I'm
not completely caught up on the SAX2 discussion but I seem to
recall talk about new interfaces/packages. I thought that if
that work is going to be done, we could refactor the general SAX
interfaces and classes at the same time.
