It was not final in 1.3.1. The CVS log indicates that it was + purposefully changed from final to NOT final in a patch a while ago. It seems + that it was restored to final status mistakenly by a merge with someone elses + patches. See the CVS log and diffs to watch this progression. The class + HTMLSerialzer, by contrast, is not final and serves the exact same purpose as + XMLSerializer. It seems to me that it should not be declared final. \ No newline at end of file --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
