These are the same questions I was trying to raise to Elliotte. There has always been some sort of perception that endDocument is guaranteed-- but it isn't written anywhere I can find. > To me this would also mean that any exceptions thrown > should stop the parser without calling endDocument(), as > an exception is certainly a stronger error condition than > a fatalError() call-back that does not throw an exception. I would be a little more open about it. I would say that because it "may" continue passing events, it is optional either way. With that being said, I think that guaranteeing endDocument for the purpose of cleanup is useful-- I just can't find it anywhere explicit. Cheers, Jeff Rafter
