The OASIS XML conformance working group has talked about this a bit ... it turns out that while there's only one type of validating processor, there are at least four types of nonvalidating ones based on what external entities they read: parameter entities ... then they normalize attributes and expand entities general entities ... then they don't drop content both ... gee, they're almost the same as a validating parser that doesn't report validity errors, and might not report ignorable whitespace or unparse entities (but they could do the latter if they want to) neither ... not all that interesting :-) Arguably one can make inclusion be conditional, but that rapidly gets nonsensical! I think that the "both" case is the most useful one in terms of "write once, run anywhere" portable code. - dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
