+<p>
+This package contains interfaces to SAX2 facilities that
+conformant SAX drivers won't necessarily support.
+
+<p>See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>
+for more information about SAX.</p>
+
+<p> This package is independent of the SAX2 core, though the functionality
+exposed generally needs to be implemented within a parser core.
+That independence has several consequences:</p>
+
+<ul>
+
+<li>SAX2 drivers are <em>not</em> required to recognize these handlers.
+</li>
+
+<li>You cannot assume that the class files will be present in every SAX2
+installation.</li>
+
+<li>This package may be updated independently of SAX2 (i.e. new
+handlers and classes may be added without updating SAX2 itself).</li>
+
+<li>The new handlers are not implemented by the SAX2
+<code>org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler</code> or
+<code>org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl</code> classes.
+You can subclass these if you need such behavior, or
+use the helper classes found here.</li>
+
+<li>The handlers need to be registered differently than core SAX2
+handlers.</li>
+
+</ul>
+
+<p>This package, SAX2-ext, is a standardized extension to SAX2. It is
+designed both to allow SAX parsers to pass certain types of information
+to applications, and to serve as a simple model for other SAX2 parser
+extension packages. Not all such extension packages should need to
+be recognized directly by parsers, however.
+As an example, most validation systems can be cleanly layered on top
+of parsers supporting the standardized SAX2 interfaces. </p>
