Well, if you can't figure out when you've encountered a document for the second time, you can be assured the parser won't be able to figure it out either. :) The means of using an EntityResolver to map documents to unique system URIs does assume that the application knows, or knows how to find out, enough about the graph of schemas to be able to tell when it's encountered something before. Since the application is more special-purpose than the parser, this is usually an acceptable assumption. Your milage may vary, but there's not much the parser can do at its level to help you if this gets you nowhere at all. Cheers!
