The general attitude seems to be that programmers--including possibly
inexperienced student programmers, which we all were at one
point--should simply suffer a little and they'll learn how to fix the
problem, doubtless after some gnashing of teeth and a few extra posts
to the mailing lists.
But I still haven't heard any reasons other than inertia for keeping
the name "ContentHandler". Clearly, it's not essential. The
equivalent SAX1 interface was called DocumentHandler. We don't want
to reuse that name, but certainly there are other choices:
ContentCallbacks, ParserCallback, XMLHandler, etc.
We can save programmers time and pain by making the change now.
Shouldn't we do that?
