This wouldn't be a SAX parser ... the only ContentHandlers 
implementations which would work with it would be ones that were 
explicitly coded to expect that kind of behaviour.

No theory here ... it's empirically testable. Build that parser, and 
I'll show you a ContentHandler that works perfectly with every correct 
SAX parser implementation but blows up horribly with yours (I really 
wouldn't have to try all that hard ;-)

Cheers,
