Sure, but I:
(1) don't want to instantiate a DOM interface/object until I have too,
because it is a memory hog
(2) don't want to be tied to DOM. Cocoon2 and many applications are
moving completely away from DOM, as in won't need it anymore, so why
should I have to use it just to create output.
(3) I like ECS, and and am used to it. Why should ECS be limited in
that it cannot create a well-formed XML document with a prolog?
(4) I like Jon ;-) and want to help make ECS even better
(5) My other developers who don't know SAX or DOM or JAXP, and barely
XML, can easily create XNL documents that I can render through
processors, and they don't have to learn a more difficult interface
(6) Honestly, I don't think the DOM interfaces are that spectacular.
Level 2 helps a lot, but the support for them is sparse.
But I understand where you are coming from - however, I see ECS as a one
stop shop for rendering *ML. I would like to add XML to that *, as well
as HTML.
