This wouldn't be too much of a problem with a remote character or byte stream, especially since we've removed the single-character and single-byte read(). AElfred, for example, slurps up 32K at a time into its read buffer. By the way, Java is simply the initial implementation for SAX, but it is not intended to be the only one. Ideally, I should have used OMG-IDL from the start, but many more people understand (and can use) Java, so I started there. Several people have offered to write OMG-IDL versions of the interfaces as soon as we're done defining them. There is already a Python implementation of an early draft of the SAX interface, and I might take a stab at the C++ version myself. All the best, David -- David Megginson ak117@f...
