Granted -- my suggestion was just to skip all internal entities for
consistency.

<warning target="everyone" level="severe">
 I am not willing to let this issue hold up SAX2, because I do not
 believe that it is important enough (a minor point for an optional
 add-on handler that few sane users should care about).  
</warning>

That means that when SAX2/Java goes to final (there'll be at least one
more beta first), it may have a broken LexicalHandler or even no
LexicalHandler if necessary.  It may also be that the optional
handlers simply don't get bundled in the main SAX2 distribution.

Obviously, there are a few people who feel strongly.  Maybe we should
spin off the optional handlers as a separate distribution and put
someone else in charge of it.  Any volunteers?


All the best,


David
