Not exactly SAX, but in the same spirit. You specify callback functions to
be called at "important" points in the document (such as start and end
tags, or text elements). I only wrote an interface to expat.

No, but I'll see more closely how it works, because it looks interesting
from what you say. I have also in mind the XML::Parser (XML::DOM, etc)
architecture in Perl. Goops, which I am discovering now, will be very useful.
