Much more likely to get done if the some of the folks who are interested in an implementation in Xerces volunteer to do it. By folks I mean anyone not just the existing Xerces developers. There are a fewer active developers around here than there used to be with decreasing time available to work on the project.

Well... you can already do that with the JAXP validation API or some cleverly written code which uses EventListeners to undo unwanted modifications. > Dick Deneer > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michael Glavassevich XML Parser Development IBM Toronto Lab E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
