I'd think you should only get the SPACE event if you're using
validation, since the API says it represents ignorable whitespace and
that's only defined by reference to a document grammar. Have you seen
SPACE occur in cases without validation?

Hi all,
I was trying to find out the problems we have with XML conformance
tests. One of the problems I saw was that we do not handle the SPACE
event from the parser.
What I thought was to use the OMText for that too. But that makes the
other cases complicated. Currently, OMText's parent should be an
OMElement, but not an OMContainer, which is correct. SPACE can come
under the OMDocument, but not spaces.
So I thought of introducing OMSpace to handle spaces. But this adds
upto the memory. IMO, spaces are important in the security case only
(am I missing something ? ). If thats the case, adding another object,
just to handle spaces is affecting the memory.
I googled to check how others have handled this, but unfortunately,
all the impls i found have just discarded that event. (I couldn't look
in to XBIS)
Comments and thoughts ... ??
