You define "platform" however you like. It's not relevant to the issue.
If I can't invoke a Python ContentHandler from a Java driver while both
are running on the same Fedora Core 3 Linux installation (does that
count as same platform?), why is this a lesser interoperability failure
than the possible inability to run a use a parallelized driver with an
arbitrary ContentHandler?
