Having just spent the afternoon roaming through SAX2, let me rephrase that:

    It's probably far too late, but would it be sily late to ask that:
	
	 public class XMLFilterImpl
	 extends java.lang.Object
	 implements XMLFilter, EntityResolver, DTDHandler,
	 ContentHandler, ErrorHandler

    be extended to also implement LexicalHandler and DeclHandler?
    (XMLFilterImpl implements _all_ other SAX2 event generating classes;
    there doesn't seem to be an obvious reason to omit the remaining two.)

That would leave DefaultHandler as the simpler default implementation/base
class for applications, while providing an integrated class that covers all of 
SAX2 for those pseudo-parser applications that require the full interface.

(Yep; that's what I thought. Too late.)
