org.apache.commons.digester.Rule constructor...

[James Carman]

Why does the Rule class only provide a constructor that takes a Digester parameter?  
It is very annoying to have to provide a constructor for rules!  Why can't you just 
add a setDigester() method to the Rule class and let a the Digester instance pass 
itself to it when the addRule() method is called (did that make sense)?  Could a 
default constructor and a setDigester() method be added to future releases of the Rule 
class?
