[XML-SIG] A first attempt at a SAX 2.0 draft

This is only the raw source of the class definitions, and so may not
be fully comprehensible unless you resort to the SAX 2 home page for
details.
<URL: http://www.megginson.com/SAX/SAX2/ >
Hopefully this gives people a starting point for providing feedback.
I'm working on an initial driver for xmlproc, but if anyone else wants
to get some experience by writing drivers (for anything at all) that
would be great.
"""
This module contains the core classes of version 2.0 of SAX for Python.
This file provides only default classes with absolutely minimum
functionality, from which drivers and applications can be subclassed.
Many of these classes are empty and are included only as documentation
of the interfaces.

The locator allows the application to determine the end
position of any document-related event, even if the parser is
not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use
this information for reporting its own errors (such as
character content that does not match an application's
business rules). The information returned by the locator is

There are cases, however, when applications need to use
prefixes in character data or in attribute values, where they
cannot safely be expanded automatically; the

application to expand prefixes in those contexts itself, if
necessary.
