  James Henstridge made a very nice documentation on using
the SAX interface with libxml:
  http://www.daa.com.au/~james/gnome/xml-sax/xml-sax.html

it's linked from libxml documentation
  http://rpmfind.net/veillard/XML/xml.html

 Which is unfortunately uncomplete,

 Using SAX makes sense if:
   - the data files you are importing are large
   - you don't have much use for the DOM tree built by libxml
     by default, especially if those data are "read-only".
   - you don't plan to use XML validation (which uses the default
     built to validate the input).

SAX is not a standardized part of the XML environment, but is very
useful, unfortunately the API is defined only for Java. So I copied
as much as possible the interface as implemented by James Clark for
expat,

Daniel
