Fine. I didn't think you realized that. Since you do, I can stop
worrying about that and simply ask that you allow SAX to be the best
API it can be for XML, and not pollute it with features for
processing non-XML formats. Different tools for different tasks. One
size does not fit all. There's no one uber-API to rule them all.
