It is very unlikely that they'll be deprecated.  But it is also highly
unclear that they'll actually be used very much in the type of lightweight
app that I think we're building SAX for.  My incliniation would be
to get elements, attributes, and text right first, then expand as
need becomes clear. -Tim
