I don't think there is enough precedence to have a policy. So far, the
only places that explicitly support Jython is the test suite, pickle,
and platform (I wouldn't really count in site here).
Actually there's some Jython-specific code in xml/sax/__init__.py. Two places, both questionable. One of them refers to sys.registry. The other appears to be a workaround for Jython not having 4-argument __import__.

Yes, it can be solved that way: Jython could implement pyexpat. I don't know just how crazy that idea is; my impression is that it could be done, perhaps imperfectly, as a wrapper around SAX.
