Re: [xmljs-users] visual studio xmldocs for Version 3.1 w3c dom

[Sky S. <sky...@gm...>]

David, you are correct.

I have already made a test run at w3c and sax and it looks doable to me. I
think what stopped me was some obscure code segments that I wanted
clarification on before I invested any more time.

updating tests should not be much work if they are 'properly' implemented.
i.e. testing public api. If so, some alias can make a quick job of it. If
this is not the case I would submit that the tests do need to be revisited.

Do we have the primary contributors of both libraries on board and available
for emergency clarifications?
