For starters, SAX parsing via a Python SAX2 driver.

What will follow is SAX bridges (feeding C++ SAX into Python is part of 
the SAX driver already, feeding Python SAX into a C++ handler will be
possible too). A DOM wrapper is also planned.

In a nutshell, the original goals still hold true (note the last point):
    - Make Xerces available as a PyXML parser (make_parser interface)
    - Bridge between Python and C++ SAX streams
    - Wrap Xerces DOM in a way compatible to 4DOM
    - Wrap the XalanTransformer class, then adapt to common Python
      interfaces on that basis
    - Provide an interface to XSLT extension functions written in Python
      (code for that is already existing at WEB.DE AG)
    - Coordinate efforts with Pyana

There are solutions that do NOT require such a merge, but a merge might 
be reasonable anyway. For now, I'll focus on getting the most important 
stuff in regarding Xerces only, and then worry about integration.

If you need something dearly, don't hesitate to yell though.


Ciao, Jürgen
