Here's a revised list of the proposed core features for Mod??SAX. I've added one new feature -- http://xml.org/sax/features/use-locator -- which will explicitly request the parse to supply or not to supply a Locator through the DocumentHandler.setDocumentLocator callback. There are two possible advantages to including this feature: 1. If the application wants a locator, it can tell before beginning the parse whether the parser can supply one. 2. If the application does not want a locator, the SAX parser/driver might be able to operate more efficiently if it doesn't have to maintain the Locator information. What does everyone else think? In any case, here's the revised core feature list (I've also added extra wording to make it clear that the external DTD subset counts as an external parameter entity): ModSAX Core Features -------------------- $Id: features.txt,v 1.1 1999/03/12 13:57:54 david Exp $ http://xml.org/sax/features/validation Validate (true) or don't validate (false). http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities Expand external general entities (true) or don't expand (false). http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities Expand external parameter entities including the external DTD subset (true) or don't expand (false). http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces Preprocess namespaces (true) or don't preprocess (false). See also the http://xml.org/sax/properties/namespace-sep property. http://xml.org/sax/features/normalize-text Ensure that all consecutive text is returned in a single callback to DocumentHandler.characters or DocumentHandler.ignorableWhitespace (true) or explicitly do not require it (false). http://xml.org/sax/features/use-locator Provide a Locator using the DocumentHandler.setDocumentLocator callback (true), or explicitly do not provide one (false).
