Agreed -- while the idea (as far as I understand it) is interesting,
I'm not comfortable with any serious obfuscation, no matter how
clever.  I've been coding for money long enough (13 years, believe it
or not) to have seen many examples of this kind of thing, and I cannot
remember a single one that did more good than harm in the long run.

Besides, XML parsing itself is confusing enough for non-specialists
(i.e. 99.99% of SAX's target market).


All the best,


David
