\var{content} may be a Unicode string or a byte string; the
\code{expat} reader module produces always Unicode strings.
\strong{Note:} The earlier SAX 1 interface provided by the Python
XML Special Interest Group used a more Java-like interface for this

it. To convert old code to the new interface, use \var{content}
instead of slicing content with the old \var{offset} and
\var{lenght} parameters.
