Just a thought: why not take a leaf out of the DOM's book and write the
canonical version of the SAX interfaces in a language-neutral format like
IDL? That way, bindings to a number of languages (including, but not
limited to, C++ and Java) can be trivially derived by using the
appropriate IDL-to-whatever converter.
