  This is great news!
  I'm not sure why the extension and driver belong in
separate projects; shouldn't they be in the same project?
The driver can be listed by name in the table used by
xml.sax.make_parser(), but when the import fails it'll just
keep going (not having the code available to check, I can
make bold assertions! ;).

  This reminds me that I have an XMLReader that works from
ESIS input data.  I plan to add it to xml.sax when I get
back from the holidays.
