Maybe this is where my perspective, so surprising to so many here, comes
from.  In Python SAX, all event objects are dissociated from the driver.

I must say I think it somewhat vindicates the Python approach that it so
easily extends the framework to advanced implementation strategies.

I had forgotten this about the original SAX, and I must say it makes for
a lot more of an "assembler-level" view than SAX as I'm used to using
it.
