I agree that we should have one consistent naming scheme and since we
usually use the input type, we shouldn't change it for this case.
I see two solutions in order to get a consistent naming of our components:
a) We rename SAXGenerator AND StAXGenerator to XMLGenerator
or
b) We add the SAX prefix to all pipeline components.
I'm in favor of a) because SAX or StAX is already part of the package
name and looking at the implemented interfaces makes it clear what
underlying event mechanism is used.
