SAX is an XML processing interface rather than an authoring interface,
so interoperability is not exactly an applicable concept (though I do
understand what you mean).  That said, some XML tools that use SAX
also have their own interfaces that can provide you with DTD
information -- for one example, see AElfred at

All the best,
