Couldn't there be a SAX2 Handler interface

public interface Handler
{
}

which marks a SAX2 Handler. The other handler interfaces are subclasses
of this. Giving a generic:

public void setHandler(Handler handler, String identifier)
	throws SAXNotRecognizedException, SAXNotSupportedException;

- identifiers for the standard handlers can be provided (e.g. as
public final constants)

- additional extended handlers use the same method to register, only
using the appropriate URI identifier as you suggest.

IMHO this is a cleaner way of registering handlers. I don't have to
remember that one Handler is registered explicitly (setDTDHandler) and
another through
a setProperty call. A Handler isNotA property.

Cheers,

L.
