SAX is at that not-so-nice point where there are some implementations circulating that have notable points of non-conformance. Blessing implementation bugs is a part of maintaining specs that I like to avoid as long as possible (preferably forever :). > But wrt Locator, Xerces appears to have implemented the spec in good faith. > It's a bit harsh to say that it has the bug when the spec is apparently at > fault {:~) Arguably ... :) It's less arguable about the way Xerces does the same thing when it reports non-absolutized URIs for notations, unparsed entities, and so forth. My impression was that the Locator treatment was an artifact of a more wholesale ignoring of what the spec said about URIs. - Dave |
