I've looked at SaxLib and it seems like a very straightforward (and thus
elegant) transliteration of the Java version. Your extensions seem quite
appropriate. I propose that we "bless" this as the "standard" Python sax
interface and call it Sax.py version 0.9. As we get more experience and
are confident there are no bugs, we can promote it to version 1.0.

It really wasn't hard. I was worried that it would be painful the first
time I did it, but it turns out to be trivial, because of the great
design of the build system. Just look in the "modules" directory.
Essentially you copy the module in, add a line to the setup file and
recompile!
