I don't think the particular aim is to marshal SAX events over an ORB.  The 
aim is simply to define an interface so that all applications in languages 
with a CORBA mapping can implement the SAX interfaces uniformly, improving 
standardization.

A SAX parser that uses the Event service to allow distributed use would, 
however, be a good exercise, and might even find real-world use.
