Both Elena and Andy have shown interest; I don't know where it is on their
priority lists.

Xerces2 beta 3, when operated in incremental mode, is failing to deliver
attributes; the startElement calls occur with non-null but empty attribute
lists. (There have also been reports of failures in normal continuous-SAX
mode; I haven't confirmed these.)

I have to say here that the technique we're using to get Xerces2 to deliver
incremental SAX rather than incremental XNI is on the hairy edge of the
documented Xerces2 APIs, so this could be either a code failure or a
documentation/usage failure. I really want to see SAX-level incremental
parse encapsulated as a standard set of calls, as it was in Xerces1's
experimental version, to reduce that set of risks. XNI is a fine idea (and
some day Xalan may want to leverage it directly), but it shouldn't be a
pre-req for incremental parsing, and incremental SAX should be available
without Xerces2's current "magic" sequence of parser instantiation.
