The reward, yet again, is in DOM building: entity reference reporting would allow sharing of entity expansions in the tree. I'd like to see this in, but I agree that it's quite hard to see how it could be done given the current method for reporting attribute values. Is there any chance of us changing that? How about an alternative start tag reporting interface which reports, startOpenElement(String name); startAttribute(String name); attributeCharacters(char[] chars, int off, int len); endAttribute(String name); endOpenElement(String name); These calls could be interspersed with startEntity() and endEntity() calls quite straightforwardly. I guess something similar could be done for parameter entities. It also has the advantage of not requiring the stringification of attribute values (something I've never been too happy with). I'm not sure how this could be made to interwork with the current scheme tho'.
