Just checked out the latest CVS Xerces-J (hoping you've fixed a bug in the DOM3 document-order test), and ran headlong into the changes in startDocument,start/endPrefixMapping, and get/setDocumentSource in the handler. Suggestion: When APIs change, it'd be really nice if the Javadoc contained comments about how to map the old versions to the new one. For now, I suppose the best approach is to look at Elena's revalidation code again, since presumably that's been updated appropriately... but it would have been sorta nice to have a specific before-and-after illustration to follow as a template. (If there was one and I missed it, my apologies!) The advantage of events for PrefixMapping is that you're actively told which prefixes are new at this element. On the other hand, if we assume these will always be associated with event transitions, one can argue that having a separate event for each of the prefixes is wasteful. On the other other hand, will that hamstring us when we start trying to apply XNI to document fragments, where we may want to assert namespaces from an implied context? ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
