If you're using Java, then there are already some higher-level
toolkits for this sort of thing -- you might want to take a look at
SAXON, which is built on top of SAX.

That will make sense once we have a common SAX C++ interface for
expat, libxml, rxp, xml4c++, and any other C-/C++-based XML parsers.
We're not there yet, though.


All the best,
