I could live with this, but only if the options were namespace
qualified, i.e.

try {
  parser.setOption("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", true);
  parser.setOption("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces", false);
  parser.setOption("http://xml.org/sax/features/entity-expansion", true);
  parser.setOption("http://simonstl.org/ns/sax/xlink", true);
} catch (SAXUnsupportedFeatureException e) {
  System.err.println("This parser ain't up to snuff -- try another!");
}

Do people like this?  I was almost afraid to suggest it...


All the best,


David
