Uh, cool. Hope you're going to share your experience with us :) [maybe
an howto, hint, hint :)]

I have encountered this before. The problem with SAX is that doesn't
guarantee well-formness as DOM does, being an event-driven approach, of
course.

The Xalan internal tree builder/indexer (DTM), seems to be kinda
'tollerant' in small SAX failures. Try enabling intra-pipe logging and
see what that gives you.

Cool. Has this patch being applied?

Cool.

A while ago, I rejected a donation about non-freely available software,
but I've changed my mind: as long as a donation is useful for somebody
and doesn't lag behind (I mean, it's not a code dump) I'm happy to
introduce it in the disto, even if it touches commercial software.

Of course, priorities still go to open-source solutions, but if you are
willing to pay for a service, that's your concern, not ours, and Cocoon
should be as interoperable as possible with existing (and future)
systems.
