Hi Ted, Ted Leung wrote: > How about just a feature to turn entity expansion off?
Neil's proposal is in line with the SOAP spec [1] which prohibits DOCTYPE and I am not sure why you consider this feature an overkill..? If we only introduce the feature you are proposing, Xerces will still process an internal subset, which is forbidden by the SOAP spec and will have performance implications (even if no entity expansion occur). Moreover, if the default configuration is chosen, and document includes a DOCTYPE, Xerces will include the DTD validator which again will slow up processing and on top of it, the validator will attempt to normalize attribute values (as defined in the XML 1.0 spec) -- and this means that Xerces parsing of SOAP messages is not interoperable with any other implementations. So I don't any reason why we should not introduce the feature proposed by Neil...
