As it says in the SAX spec for the "Parser" interface:

	SAX parsers are reusable but not re-entrant: the
	application may reuse a parser object (possibly
	with a different input source) once the first
	parse has completed successfully, but it may not
	invoke the parse() methods recursively within a parse.

So, reusing the parser must be OK.

Re should you be able to create more than one -- certainly.
Complain to any parser vendor that doesn't let you do that;
there's no reason to prevent that from being done, it's rather
basic functionality.
