Absolutely voluntary, and for the reason you mentioned. It's very  
common for me to have 3 or 4 'handlers' consuming SAX events, parsing  
the XML into whatever internal data structures I need.

FWIW. I usually write my own lexers/parser by hand, rather than using  
yacc/lex too.... better error handling and cleaner code usually :-)
