Yeah -- something pretty minimal that can just be relied on not to do something stupid, and which offers environment-specific flexibility (vs blessing one implementation, even if it is the reference one). Since most application components need to be configured, expecting their options to include a parser name doesn't seem onerous to me. Letting a a whole bunch of random implementation-specific factory exceptions through an API, on the other hand ... does! ;-) - Dave p.s. I've been exploring wrapping some of the policies Miles talked about in code that goes _over_ SAX not inside it. Small parser is fast parser is good parser. So I use commandlines like: $ parse fuman10.xml "nsfix | validate" ... reports validity errors (etc) in "fuman10.xml" $ with the knowledge that it'll work with any SAX2 parser that emits declaration events ... and those two filter stages will be removed if the parser supports the relevant feature settings.
