Hello,

I am new here, so can just comment API from XML point of view ...

SAX is older API, maybe that JAXP is better for inspiration:

     http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/sax/SAXResult.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/sax/SAXSource.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamResult.html
http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/dist/1.1/docs/api/javax/xml/transform/stream/StreamSource.html

i.e. getOutputStream() and getWriter() methods.

They also introduced Source and Result interfaces, maybe you could use 
it instead of InputSource and OutputTarget.
