Hi.

I have a question about SAX driver names.

I noticed that saxexts.make_parser() in PyXML 0.6.6 accepts both
"xmlproc" and "xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmlproc", and that the two
generated parsers seem to have some differences.  For example,
the parser generated by the former name passes a unicode string
to saxlib.HandlerBase.characters(), while the parser generated
by the latter name passes an ordinal string to that method.  I
wonder if there are other differences.

Is a driver name like "xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmlproc" a valid one?

Thanks,
