So how about "non-Java implementations" or "non-regulated environments implementations"? When we will have C++ standard, a new section for standard C++ implementations will be needed. And I am looking forward to participation in creation of SAX C++ standard. And about MS, Kerberos and breaking standards... I know nothing about this incident and don't even have any idea on who was working on it, so probably, I am permitted to express my personal opinion on this matter. Did I understood correctly that server can accept anybody who implements standard, but provides extensions used by MS-specific clients? Then server is standard, while clients are not. And this is bad for the system which provides these clients, as they are incapable to connect to the world. So what's the problem for the world? That's MS, who got the problem, I admit, because IT managers want client/desktop systems which would work with NT, Unix, AS/400, RS6000, S/390, and, whenever possible, with all other servers in the world. As far as it concerns SAX, I'll do my best to keep my company out of such trouble. And since May release, where we have COM SAX2 implementation we had no even single complaint about deviating from the standard, so I think that means we did pretty thorough job on keeping up with specs.
