It can be said that the SAX project, in terms of the API work, was
dead a long time ago. There hasn't been any updates/changes since SAX
2.0.2 released in 2004[1]. SAX is in public domain [2]. Sun/Oracle
incorporated SAX2 in Java SE with a GPL license. I assume we're free
to make changes. Please let me know if you think otherwise.
I'm not objecting to notifying the content handler of declarations. I'm
also not discussing licenses. I'm mostly concerned that ContentHandler
and all the other classes in this API point the reader to the SAX
project as the place to go for documentation and more information. Has
there been any effort to find a contact for the SAX project on
soucreforge and get them to put an EOL notice on the main page?
Alternatively, if the SAX API in Java SE is getting a second wind then
maybe the links to the SAX project could be reduced to a historical note.
