Typed Extension for StAX API

Hi All,

  Tatu Saloranta, Woodstox' main developer, and I have been  
exchanging some ideas on how to extend the StAX API to support native  
Java types. The original discussion started in the stax_builders  
mailing list, but since EXI processors are likely customers of this  
API as well, I thought I'd start a thread on this public list. The  
underlying goal of this effort is to have a well-proven API that  
could be proposed to the StAX.next WG.

  The current proposal [1] is already fairly long (not too complex,  
but long) so I hope the outcome of this is discussion isn't that we  
need double the number of methods --if that is the outcome, however,  
we will probably need to go back to the drawing board :(

  In any case, I think your input can make this API better for both  
XML and EXI processors. Looking forward to your feedback.

  Thanks.

-- Santiago
