Have you actually tried to do this? I have. See
http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xmljava/chapters/ch08s05.html. It
can be done, but because this was not the original goal of XMLReader,
the interface just doesn't fit. It's an exercise in pounding a square
peg into a round hole. It's extremely ugly, and clear evidence that
SAX was not intended to be used in this manner.
