I didn't, but it's certainly a good idea. I will be evaluating the OMG COS
Trader service shortly, and this looks like a possible way to make a real
evaluation of it. If an ORB becomes part of JDK 1.2 we may not even need
a lightweight alternative.

BTW: David, if you have problems keeping track of which products support
SAX you can look here:

<URL:http://www.stud.ifi.uio.no/~larsga/linker/xmltools/by-standard.html#SAX>

I can make an index of the products that use it as well, if you think
that will be useful. I've got the information in my XML docs, I just
don't use it yet.
