There is no guarantee of validity after the function has returned, so yes,
you have to copy anything you can't use right away.
If it didn't work that way, the parser would be required to store
everything in memory for the duration of the parse, which would really ruin
efficiency.

Please respond
to xerces-c-dev
New to the list...hello all...I've been using Xerces for a few months now
and am pretty impressed.
I have a question regarding the "XMLCh*" and "Attributes" instances passed
to ContentHandler::startElement(). How long are these references
guaranteed
to be valid? Can I store them off (as is) until
ContentHandler::endDocument() is called?
If not, it seems like I should be able to, given the highly inefficient
alternative of making my own copy of everything I need.
Thanks in advance...
