	The proposed extensions don't seem to be very difficult ones
to implement, and fairly harmless to SAX compatibility.  Paul Prescod
will doubtless let us know if they present problems for JPython.  

	I assume that you're not standardizing the low-level
interfaces to modules in the parsers package; rather, the modules in
xml.parsers will implement what interface they like, and xml.sax and
xml.dom are stable adapters on top of these varying modules.  Correct?

Science itself, therefore, may be regarded as a minimal problem, consisting of
the completest possible presentment of facts with the least possible
expenditure of thought.
