By default, no, unless explicitly requested by the client app. How should we handle this? Here are my current thoughts: Feature: http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces (default = true) TRUE false ------------------------------------------------------------------------ uri required optional localName required optional start/endPrefixMapping required optional NS error reporting required forbidden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Feature: http://xml.org/sax/features/rawnames (default = false) true FALSE ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rawName required optional xmlns* atts required forbidden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Every SAX2 driver *must* support namespaces==true and rawnames==false, and must use those as the default unless the client explicitly requests otherwise. The combination namespaces==false && rawnames==false is not allowed (setting either to false automatically toggles the other to true). > Is "no namespace" reported with a null or empty String (for > interned Strings, the equals problem does not exist)? Empty string sounds like a reasonable suggestion when Namespace processing is being performed; null when it is not (so that a bugs in code will show up sooner). > Can I assume that namespace URIs are always interned? That's a good question -- should SAX2 require that all names and Namespace URIs be interned (i.e. == to the results of java.lang.String.intern)?
