I would really like you to reconsider this ordering of priorities.  SAX2 is 
urgently needed for DOM implementors and developers of XSLT engines with 
streaming output.  You have done an admirable job of leading the SAX and SAX2 
development, and it is dying without your output.  Now if you were simply 
buried with 9-5 work, and couldn't lend your efforts, it would be 
understandable.  But to detract from SAX2 in order to focus on SAX/C++, I 
think is muddling the priorities.
