[Saxdotnet-devel] Merging the IXmlReaderControl with IXmlReader

[Jeff R. <je...@je...>]

Karl has proposed merging the IXmlReaderControl functionality into the 
IXmlReader. This would add a "Suspend" and "Resume" function to the core 
XmlReader. For implementations that do not support this behavior 
(AElfred) calling these methods would generate a NotSupportedException.

Additionally, a Status interface level property would be added to 
indicate the current read status. Although taken from the 
IXmlReaderControl interface, it is not optional, since it is easy to 
implement for any IXmlReader - it will just never return a value of 
XmlReaderStatus.Suspended for some IXmlReaders.

As the implementer of AElfred I see no problem with this...
