He's not saying that it should be taken on by W3C to be beefed up to be like DOM. He's saying that it would be nice for there to be a W3C standard like SAX to compliment the features of DOM. After all, SAX is an ideal choice for building the DOM. SAX should be left as it is, and I think that most people (the W3C especially) understand that. Now, the only down side I see to the W3C is the development cycle time. SAX has gone through two versions in the same amount of time that some of the W3C projects have gone from draft to recommendation. Technology is moving much faster than the W3C can manage to keep up with. The xml-dev group, on the other hand, is the technology (or at least the group that is driving technology) and therefore has driven SAX to keep up with everyones needs. Giving SAX over to the W3C will most likely slow any future revisions to a crawl. --- Seairth Jacobs seairth@b... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill la Forge" <b.laforge@j...> To: <xml-dev@x...> Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 9:11 PM Subject: Re: Who will maintain SAX? > > > But it sure would be nice to see the W3C adopt the SAX > > APIs as a standard interface for parsing.
