  It's irrelevant what uses the authors of the Apache SAX parser had in mind for it - it attempts to comply to the SAX 2.0 spec and can be used for anything you would want a SAX parser for. Apache is not involved in defining XML specs, just providing open source implementations of them.

  My point was that there will generally available tools for handling XML Schema very soon, and you can already see the outlines.
