Lark, BTW, does *not* catch ignorable white space unless it is validating. Since it is perfectly OK to build SAX with such a processor, *if* we want to build ignorable white-space notification into SAX, it has to be out-of-band; i.e. white space is passed in the same way as all other content; with perhaps another boolean argument to the text() method (that what it's called now?) that if true, means this is ignorable white space. But I would oppose doing this in SAX; let's keep it simple for now. -T. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
