SAX2 1.1 Extensions has an interface called Locator2 [1] which extends Locator providing methods for accessing the xml version and encoding of entities. There's also a feature called 'is-standalone' which exposes whether the document has been declared to be standalone. These extensions currently have beta status but based on the revitalized discussion on SAX for JAXP 1.3 they may be finalized fairly soon.
