When you get right down to it, what is the SAX 2.0 spec, anyway? The new
SAX home at
http://www.saxproject.org/
has no link for anything called the spec. It has Javadoc, and it has
various words that seem to explain certain matters (not complete, as best I
can see), but no spec. Where is it? Does it exist anymore?
