+-- A SAX parser takes a content handler, which provides these methods:
+--     startDocument()                 -- called at the start of the Document
+--     endDocument()                   -- called at the end of the Document
+--     startElement( tagName, attrs )  -- with each tag start.  attrs is a table of attributes and values
+--     endElement( tagName )           -- when a tag ends
+--     characters( char )              -- for each character not being in a tag
+-- The parser calls each of these methods as these events happen.
+
+-- A SAX parser defines a parser (created with makeParser)
+-- a Parser has a ContentHandler assigned
+-- a Parser also defines these methods:
+--      setContentHandler( contentHandler )
+--      setFeature()  -- prob not going to implement
+--      parse( text )
