I want the "get the default parser" factory methods to permit using environment-specific intelligence, rather than to preclude it as you now do. (I'm not sure what you mean by "shadow".) That's "just" a specification change, not a syntax change. > I don't see any harm, but is that the > kind of thing that needs to be mentioned explicitly? Yes and no. Yes, since the specification should work in environments other than the "run from commandline" context you appear to be assuming. No, since anyone's free to modify a "public domain" specification to do whatever they darn well please. I'd far rather see _your_ version of SAX2 address such problems than need to take advantage of the latter option. - Dave *************************************************************************** This is xml-dev, the mailing list for XML developers.
