This is one of the most common mistakes that SAX parsers make. I brought this up because of a question I had asked a short while ago in this thread: http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200312/threads.html#00345 It was never adequately answered. And one could read the docs to imply that if the start of the document is never encountered then neither should be called but an error may be thrown-- of course even that is flimsy-- consider the following document: Error Before Prolog.xml ================= Venienti occurrite morbo <?xml version="1.0"?> <foo/> Error In Prolog.xml ================= <?xml version="Venienti occurrite morbo"?> <foo/> What do the SAX documents actually prescribe in this case? If I am delving too deeply into things covered your talk, then I am happy to wait : ) Cheers, Jeff Rafter
