It shouldn't be -- SAX's package name (org.xml.sax.*) is secure.  The
only issue is that we cannot arbitrarily create package names outside
of that hierarchy, since OASIS may use those for other purposes.

Personally, I think that it's a good thing for SAX that its Java
package name is built on a .ORG domain that is (now) controlled by a
non-profit organization dedicated to advancing XML, rather than by a
for-profit company (even a nice one like Megginson Technologies).


All the best,


David
