When you get right down to it, what is the SAX 2.0 spec, anyway?  The new
SAX home at

http://www.saxproject.org/

has no link for anything called the spec.  It has Javadoc, and it has
various words that seem to explain certain matters (not complete, as best I
can see), but no spec.  Where is it?  Does it exist anymore?

Cheers,
