How is this different to XML::SAX::Simple which Matt announced
recently?

Two points:
1) shouldn't this be within the XML::Simple namespace, e.g.
something like XML::Simple::Builder. In fact I thought that I read
that Grant McLean was already working on this.
2) aren't we in danger of namespace overload/confusion with all the
recent packages, i.e. XML::SAX::Machines, XML::Handler::xxx and
XML::Filter::xxx.
Maybe everthing to do with machines should be within the XML::SAXMachines
namespace, and XML::Filter and XML::Handler should contain only
general purpose handlers or filters.
I've not read the docs with all your new packages so I might be just
confusing myself.
