Ah. Pardon me my ignorance. Different syntax for empty elements in XML or SGML was a nuisance anyway, so this seems to be a one more thing fixed. <CLIP> > SAX as it currently stands is not designed to preserve most lexical > information; in the future, we may devise a SAX level-2 to return this > information, but since most applications that need it will probably > use a DOM anyway, the demand may not be strong enough. If i understood this correctly, SAX is also not designed for interoperatibility. If you want to generate pre-WebSGML from XML using SAX (and accept that lexical information is not preserved), you still would need the ability to detect empty declared elements. - Jani xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
