"ESIS-level" certainly appeals to me, and I like the way that DavidM has
allowed for immediate and future extensibility.  You can do a lot with ESIS
as Joe English showed with CoST.  And it's not too difficult to build trees
from such a level - this is what JUMBO does.  I think some of the current
discussion reflects what many of us feel is missing in ESIS [otherwise we
should simply build parsers directly with ESIS output :-)]

Can I assume that it is possible to create a full ESIS stream using SAX? If
not, I'd be slightly worried and would like to know what had been omitted.
[You can see I'm not an expert :-)].
