Till then I'm pretty tied up. I see almost all of the MDSAX interfaces being replaced by SAX2. And I assure you, I plan to drop the current requirement of having a setParser method from MDSAX2--a bad design decision on my part is what caused it, and that created quite a few problems in turn. Another problem was in the incompleteness of the AttributeList api. Hard to make extensions to. And no way to add/update attributes in a filter because of the incompleteness of the api. Typically you check for the use of a known implementation and if it isn't being used, replace the whole attribute list. And that really gets messy if you are also trying to include extensions on the attributes! One new problem for MDSAX being introduced by SAX2 is when parser events are being routed between subfilters. These subfilters may all need to be aware of application events, in contrast to a filter stack where application events are handled by successive filters. Bill xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
