Oh, it was my example that worked by encoding the references. The
existing sax_parser is still substitutes, and calling SaxParser with
false generates an error on a reference. After a few simple experiments,
it is not obvious to me how to fix that. One fix is to make SaxParser
always substitute references. I am not sure why there would be a use
case not to have that behaviour since one can still virtually register a
callback to get notification. It seems anything else will throw error.
