I agree that these are poor interfaces, but aren't these the ones that the "full-size", j2SE JAXP specifies? http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/package-frame.html http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.html I think these APIs were a mistake to start with, and I never used them directly - I always getXMLReader() and go from there. This said, do you think it's a good idea to introduce incompatibilities between Java platforms at the cost of better interfaces in some of them? And then, is ME the right place to start? Ari.
