I so far forgot to say a "thank you" for the suggestion :-)

The sample code as you sent it doesn't do what I need to do, but I did look
at it for creating SAX handler code that does what I want.

It took me a while to implement, as it didn't fit in the parser-engine I had
and I was close to making a release.

But still: thanks!
