Re: Who will maintain SAX?

The problem with organizations such as Apache Software Foundation and Free
Software Foundation is they have a definite agenda.

An XML API such as SAX should be maintained by an organization that is
apolitical or agnostic when it comes to free software. It should maintain
open APIs and make the source code freely-available, but not be concerned
whether a deployment platform is commercial or not.

Isn't vendor-neutral, interoperable technology the point of specifications
such as SOAP? Shouldn't SAX be maintained in that same spirit?
