Most data binding tools convert XML data to an in-memory object model.
In other words, they are like statically-typed and named DOM. However, 
this is not always desirable (streaming) or possible (large documents).
In such situations the "statically-typed and named SAX" approach is a 
good  alternative. The problem with Santhosh's project is that it still
revolves around the idea of building an in-memory representation.

Oh please, not this discussion again ;-).
