Could someone help out > with a use-case please? The classic use case is a transformation where the result will be still used by an author, sort of an XML sed. I don't find this case particularly persuasive, but clearly the DOM WG did, and as a result, the Infoset was constrained to follow. What I like about James's approach is that it's transparent for proper Namespace processing -- you get what you expect -- and the (very slight) extra difficulty is offloaded onto those who want the original prefix. > If I'm right, then given that SAX1 already does the pure XML1.0 > view, why do we need more than one view? When you need both simultaneously. I have never encountered such a case, and I imagine that it's mostly imaginary, but I would like to be able to manage a little more DOM2 compatibility in SAX2.
