I can see the logic in keeping these in, especially where entities are involved. OTOH they are the sort of information that distinguishes simple WF docs (i.e. no internal/external subsets) from those with subsets. [BTW we need a terminology for these various types of documents...]. The WG has already realised the problem of ID by (I think in XSL) treating *attributeNames* of ID as special (since it recognises that not all authors may declare the *attributeType*). >- public and system identifiers for notations I can live without this. But others may not be able to do so :-) >- notation and public and system identifiers for external data entities This is part of what we've been discussing, right? > >There has been no agreement on whether this information belongs in >SAX, and I welcome further discussion. Suggest that you rephrase it as questions. e.g. Q11 "Should SAX be able to recreate an ESIS stream?" I'd want good evidence why. [One reason could be that in that way one can easily compare the output of parsers, and also compare it with nsgmls and other ESIS-aware tools.] P.
