There is a implement of SAX API in Ruby's XMLParser library,
but it is SAX1, not SAX2. And as far as I know, Ruby's XML
aplications (almost) don't use it. They use XML::DOM or
XML::Parser directly, because there is no other widely-used
implementation of XML parser(so there are not much needs for
common API in SAX level).

## I don't know PerlSAX2, but it seems interesting...
