I don't see the use case for SAX console writing. SAX does provide its 
own error event, via the ErrorHandler interface. I'd rather the 
consuming application do the logging.

So far, none of the SAX use cases need/want console logging, and it 
would be actively harmful in Thunderbird, where a whole sidebar full of 
feeds can get refreshed at once.
