sax parse amp
David,

Thanks for your help -- the documentation I was looking at was http://xml.apache.org/xerces-j/apiDocs/.  I'll look at
saxproject.org next time.

http://www.saxproject.org/apidoc/org/xml/sax/ContentHandler.html

clearly documents that such behavior is allowed, so
your application code must expect it.  It's also tip #2 in

the one in your question ... :)
