Unfortunately, TrAX (and the other new parts of JAXP) is vastly underspecified. There is no definitive answer to your questions. Different implementations can and do behave differently. A careful reading of the spec leads to many unanswerable questions. This is just one of them. At various times I have submitted some of these questions to Sun as bugs, so far without response ,or acknowledgement of any kind. It seems no one at Sun is paying attention to JAXP these days.

Overall, JAXP is much like the rest of Java, especially in its early days: a partial description intended to assist developers in using a single implementation. Aside from the parts adopted from other, more careful specs (SAXX and DOM) the JAXP spec is not adequate specification for independent implementers. --
