No. SAX will not change. The base-64 encoded content will be presented 
to SAX as characters using the existing APIs. of course some people may 
choose to use different, non-SAX, non-XML APIs that don't base-64 encode 
everything.

Yes, this is all insane. Personally I just wish the binary folks would 
stop trying to hijack XML for use cases it was never intended for.
