Thanks for the support.  I've always considered import package.* to be 
the sign of either

a) a novice (forgivable); or
b) expremely sloppy coding.

Mind you, there are times that sloppy coding is OK (such as whipping
up a quick demo).

I understand the concerns with both XMLReader and ContentHandler, but
I'm very reluctant to make changes this late in the SAX2 process, and
we've already spent a lot of time discussing the XMLReader name.  Do
people feel very strongly about renaming either of these?


All the best,


David

p.s. The names should work fine in C++.
