* Bill la Forge | | The upgrade needs to be worth doing, but for more than one reason. I agree that it needs to be worth doing, but to me what has been proposed here certainly sounds like it is enough. (Remember, parameter setting, handler extensibility, filters, namespaces, lexical information and DTD information are probably all in the pipeline.) | I'm sure you know the kinds of things I'm looking for: | o Event objects for one. On this point I agree with what David will probably say: this belongs on a higher level. If you want this functionality, make a value-adding layer on top of SAX 1.1. There's no loss in that, since you can implement this once for all SAX-aware parsers with hardly any performance penalties. (This is why I agree with David: this is the kind of benefit that being ultra low-level buys us.) | o A way to specify a filter to a DOM-building-parser is another. We certainly need this, but I don't see how this can usefully be part of SAX. SAX is at a lower level than the DOM and so should certainly be designed for a DOM layer to fit nicely on top, but there should be no dependencies, I think. In other words, this is something that either the DOM or the parsers will have to deal with in a sensible fashion. Taking a ModParser as an argument to DOM building would perhaps be the best way to do this. However, I don't see the harm in someone sitting down to write a recommendation to DOM parser writers for how to do this and why it's useful. | So that's why I'm butting in here. I think an open standards process | is important for individuals and small companies. We need to do what | we can to keep the ball rolling here. We are certainly in heartfelt agreement here. :) --Lars M. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
