xml-dev - Re: Who will maintain SAX?

[John Evdemon <john.evdemon@xmls.com>]

Any chance of getting IETF interested in SAX?  There are several advantages:
   1) No fees
   2) Open to anyone
   3) Neutral standards body (no risk of alienating vendors e.g. Apache)

Problem: SAX is really applications-oriented, not infrastructure.  Would
IETF even be interested in this?

Subject: Re: Who will maintain SAX?

I'm not sure I understand throughout this discussion what the role of the
SAX maintainer would be.  It seems like SAX is a static entity---new
features seem to come not in the form of changes to SAX itself, but as new
entities (SAX2, for example).  Does 'SAX' really *need* a maintainer?

Naively,
Paul
