I'll be sure to make some then ;-) In any case, you both of course
realize that SAX will be used either way in parsing, as Apache Xerces
uses a SAX Parser when creating a DOM output. Just some curio I thought
you two might enjoy... The issue then becomes one of how we need to
manipulate the data, as in during processing, or after processing. Once
you guys get some code and lots of sample class maps, the correct thing
to do will become evident.

Castor is an O/R mapping tool that is a level above SAX and DOM (also
check out Tyrex, also at Exolabs). It actually is most analogous to the
Java for XML Data Binding proposal making its way around Sun.

Yup, but not a bad idea... it would be fun, in any case, if not
immediately super-useful ;-)
