I'm thinking of the following method to provide random access update to SAX parsing. If there's already similar thing developed somewhere (or better perhaps) , I'd be glad to have some urls, you can also tell me that the idea [expletive deleted], I can take it ;) the method assumes: - roundtrip serialization from input to output works - there's some way to generate new unique entity names/refs for document - state tracking is already working and is controllable by switching some flag that indicates we're collecting data (replaced by unique entity ref) or serializing the doc: <viplist> <person> <name>Marlon Random</name> <status>vip</status> </person> <person> etc ... </viplist> the procedure: if wanted person(s) is found, the doc will be serialized to the format: <!DOCTYPE viplist [ <!ENTITY uniqueID SYSTEM "someuniqueIDtoo"> ]> <viplist> <person> &uniqueID; </person> <person> etc ... </viplist> when the update is performed, document is simply parsed again and unique "update" entities are resolved with custom resolveEntityHandler. thanks, Toni Uusitalo "And I wish that I was made of stone So that I would not have to see A beauty impossible to define A beauty impossible to believe" - Nick Cave (Brompton Oratory) - romanticist? "There are lots of myths that people have around issues of beauty and attraction, and part of the issue is to stop thinking about things in terms of myth, but to use the tools of neuroscience, and start dissecting and understanding how things actually function," said Dr. Hans Breiter, a psychiatrist and co-author of the study." - The Brain Is Stimulated by Beauty, Study Finds - abcnews.com - scientist?
