Not violently opposed to the feature, ***IF*** it has no adverse performance impact when not in use. If it costs any significant number of cycles, you're asking those who don't want it to "pay the rent" for those who do, and given that this is essentially a "non-XML behavior" I'm not at all convinced that's acceptable.
On the other hand: In my experience, most folks who think they want round-tripping really want better XML-aware tools -- editors, file compares, etc. -- and have only been forced to worry about round-tripping because they're trying to process the XML as text, or because their current tools are flat-out broken. I honestly think it's more of a service to the community to push back on this request as much as possible/reasonable. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
