Re upstream source and resyncing ... David Megginson recently
set up some sax stuff at sourceforge (sax.sourceforge.net) which
could become the definitive upstream source ... after it gets
those two "extension" handlers and some bugfixes I hope to put
back soonish.  DOM L2 comes from W3C "originally".

I suppose I'm going to want to check which versions of SAX
got merged ... the "pre-r2" ones, plus the "1.0" extensions?

Alternatively there's the "classpathx" version.  I put a GPL
on those copies of the SAX files, but am not religious about
that issue.  It's got those bugfixes and an allowed-by-spec
update to the bootstrapping class.  (There's a compiled-in
default parser.)  And the DOM L2 stuff is from W3C ... and
all those include "package.html" as necessary for javadoc.

Advantage of the classpathx versions:  it's the whole stack,
not just a few of the interfaces sans implementation!  :)

p.s. The "classpathx" jaxp support seems pretty much ready
    to use.  It's passed regression tests for DOM ("domunit",
    which uses the JAXP bootstrapping) and SAX/XML (the
    "xmlconf" stuff) as well as before.  Bugfixed, and under
    GPL-with-library-exception.
