Well actually the implementation is far closer to expat than to SAX. I
guess to get there you'd need to go to libxml3... It would take me way too
long to go into the details, I'm afraid. But basically, startElement would
recieve a single object which would have attributes "Name, Namespace,
Prefix, Attributes", and each attribute would have "Name, Value,
Namespace, Prefix". At least I think that's how it goes - I'm just taking
this from my knowledge of PerlSAX2.
