Yep!  So I've heard.

Do you have a list of the ones that does this?

Hm... should we also to a
	typedef basic_string<SAXChar> SAXstring;
(needs a better name, I lowercased the "s" in "string" to differ it
from SAXString)?

(pf course, then we would probably need SAXChar char_traits<> of some
sorts as well...)
