Ahh.  I was assuming that we were aiming to be able to have the SAX Client
and SAX Implemention be in different languages.  The practical case I'm
thinking about is that I write in C++ and would like to be able to use the
Java-based Implementations.  Assuming a platform (for example win32) that
provides interoperability at the interface level between multiple
languages, or really any language-neutral IDL-based mechanism, shouldn't
that be possible?

I guess we should answer that question first.

If we say that, yes, we want cross-language interoperability (and IDL?),
then I maintain my stand.  If not, I quickly retract...
