If this is the case (and I trust David's accuracy) I would not feel it appropriate to offer it as part of the currently planned JUMBO-CDROM. (I shall try to make sure that all parsers give 'the same results' - at least for my examples). However I would certainly wish to support MSXML in the future (assuming the distribution policy allows me to.) Any further clarification from MS would be welcome - I certainly don't want to undervalue the role that it plays. > > > IBM: > >IBM's XML for Java shipped with a SAX driver for the January draft >(thanks, guys), and they included SAX 1.0 compliance on the time line >during their presentation at the XML Developers' Day in Seattle.

Excellent. Any info from IBM about timescales for SAX1.0 would be most welcome. > P.
