Re: [Springframework-developer] DTD

[<tri...@tr...>]

Rod,

I vote for breaking backward compatibility now, before the first release.  As
soon as you release a deprecated feature, you know that there is always someone
that is going to use it and later complain when it is gone :-)

As for the DTD, could it go in the package where the DocumentBuilderFactory
lives?  If the XML files are not valid, how are you going to use them - guess
what is missing?  I'd say force them to be valid as long as whe throw a clearly
worded exception if they are not.
