Despite the impressive-looking URL, this document is utterly without authority.
If you look at the parent page, http://www.w3.org/XML/notes.html, it says
"This page collects some thoughts on XML and links to some software. It
dates from 1997 and is not currently maintained."

The SAX data model, however, is linearized, not tree-structured.
