Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-182:
------------------------------------

After thinking about this a bit more, I find myself reluctant to apply this 
patch. Adding such a low-level extension point essentially prevents us from 
changing to some other parser library that doesn't generate those low-level SAX 
events. For example I wouldn't count out the possibility that at some point 
we'd want to replace NekoHTML with a higher level HTML parser that better 
expresses how the HTML content gets expressed to the user.

> Allow clients to listen to the raw SAX events if available
