>From "http://sax.sourceforge.net/?selected=namespaces":
The http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes feature controls
the reporting of qNames and Namespace declarations (xmlns* attributes):
when this feature is false (the default), qNames may optionally be
reported as empty strings for elements and attributes that have an
associated namespace URI, and xmlns* attributes must not be reported.
If it is documented as being "true" somewhere, then that is a doc bug,
not a code bug.
I do not think that the other two changes are consistent with the
XML spec and I believe that those changes should not me made. It has
always been the case that the phrase "an XML processor may at user
option issue a warning" is taken to mean "if the users asks you to".
This has been the behavior of Xerces at least as far back as 1.0.2,
which is the oldest copy I happen to have readily available. Were
the default behavior of the parser to change to start squawking at
users to warn them about constructs that the spec considers to be
legal in well-formed documents I for one would be most annoyed.
Regards,
Glenn
