Admittedly it could. I'd forgotten about libxml2. :)

The benefit of using SAX over using one of the raw parser APIs is that
you can switch parser to whichever is fastest at any given time
without having to change your code.

IMHO xml.parsers.expat shouldn't exist, and there should only be a SAX
driver for expat implemented in C. I guess what we're lacking is the
manpower to do that.
