Remember that SAX is a front-end to various parsers with various philosophies, validating (XML4J), non-validating but external-entity- reading (Aelfred), non-validating and document-entity-only (XP). SAX provides methods, for parsers that wish to do so, to report on declared notations and unparsed entities, since these features provide actual extensions to the basic element/attribute model. Element and attribute list declarations cannot be reported through SAX, since they are reckoned inessential. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@c... You tollerday donsk? N.
