A preliminary version of DOMParser is now available at my XML page
(http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/XML). DOMParser is a compliant SAX
parser, except that its input comes from a DOM implementation
rather than an InputSource. An additional method, parse(Document d),
is introduced to parse DOM Document objects. The standard parse()
methods throw errors. (Perhaps they should look for a real parser
and a DOM implementation to try to create a DOM Document instead?)

A demo program is also available, based on the SAX ByteStreamDemo
and using the Docuverse DOM SDK as the DOM. Its output is identical
to that of ByteStreamDemo using Aelfred 1.2 as the parser, except
that it does not try to resolve a SystemId or set a Locator
(Locators making no sense when there is no source text).
