I think we already _do_ have some experience with this sort of thing ... tho' not necessarily in the context of SAX. My factory proposal isn't particularly novel: it uses a service provider model that very similar to Sun's JNDI. The comparison is appropriate, because directory services are another domain where vendor neutrality and plug'n'play matter. Anyhow, I'm all for letting a hundred flowers bloom. My proposals are on the table for anyone who's interested in evaluating them (http://www3.mistral.co.uk/miles/). I'd be more than willing to do the same for any concrete counter-proposals, including the 'do nothing' option ... so long as some sort of rationale is given.
