Yes. But this requires one to copy (at least the first string) and a concatenation. Some applications may be more interested in the speedup which may result from not doing this copying/concatenation, and happily accept the small increase in complexity handling it. I'm playing with a design involving two pluggable "ESIS-handlers", one "low-level", where GI's, attribute names, attribute values, comments etc points directly into the source. (typically via a filemapping or an in-memory-buffer) The "low-level" ESIS-handler may copy the data into "real" strings, concatenate the consecutive PCDATA sections , build the tree, do validation etc and pass the events to an optional "higher-level" ESIS-handler. I think/hope the layer which triggers the low-level events won't be very different from Mr Clark's "quick and dirty" parser. (Not sure yet whether the low-level handler should just receive events, or whether it should query for the next event/token.) Cheers, Jarle xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
