If you want a full-featured API that is going to interoperate for SGML and XML docs as well, the grove is the only way to go, so there is no need to have this discussion here on that subject. What we're trying to do is, specifically for the case of Java XML processors, which evidence would suggest are going to be large in number and relatively lightweight, is simply to give them some shared machinery as regards elements and attributes. For this kind of purpose, I think the grove formalism is massive overkill; right now people can whip off XML parsers in a week, if we require them to master grove plans and property sets and so on, we're tripling the amount of time that has to be invested.

This is part of the problem; last time I looked, the SGML property set was over 75 pages in length, and most of what it contains is just not interesting for XML parsers. If we could just agree, specifically for Java, how to talk to a few basic things (Element, Attribute, etc), this would be a huge step forward. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers Archived as: http://www.lists.ic.ac.uk/hypermail/xml-dev/ To unsubscribe, send to majordomo@i... the following message; unsubscribe xml-dev List coordinator, Henry Rzepa (rzepa@i...)
