At last, someone who wants the LocalMarkupFilter (level 1) I specced out but never implemented because everybody pooh-poohed it. This is a SAX filter that detects some PIs and processes character data. Each properly declared character in the content of a specified element is transformed into an empty element. Here are the PIs: <?LocalMarkup mapname elementname?> says that any characters in the content of the element "elementname" are transformed according to "mapname". <?LocalMarkup mapname "x" elementname?> says that when map "mapname" is in effect, the character "x" is changed into an empty element named "elementname", with an attribute "char" saying what the character was. This is not as flexible as shortrefs, assuming I understand them correctly (can be more than one character long, and are transformed into an arbitrary entity, not a fixed element name) but is easily layered over SAX.
