I could buy this, but I don't see why I have to.  One could also claim
that the letter of SAX2 makes the way it's implemented in Python
illegal, but I suspect they would be rightly ignored.

I don't see why a parallelized streaming architecture could not be
expressed in terms of SAX events.  Perhaps you could persuade me SAX
does not allow it, but I expect that this would be only by admitting to
precious and entirely unnecessary restrictions in the definition of SAX.
