Hi Alberto,
Adding /Wp64 sounds fine.

I am not sure about having the next release be 3.0.   I think the risk of
someone having PSVIDefs in their code is a small risk (given that we have
already removed the functionality).  I agree it would be nice to clean up a
number of items but I think 3.0 should have some significant functionality
or architectural change from the current code base.   However, this is just
my opinion, and I wonder what others think?  Anyone?

BTW, what is the outstanding work for DOML3?  If methods have changed
names, could we introduce the new names and mark the old ones as
deprecated?

Maybe we should also keep track (perhaps in a Jira bug) of changes we
should make for the next version of xercesc (you mentioned adding const to
some signatures).  It would be good if we didn't lose track of these...

These look fine; for MSVC++ 7.1 we should also turn on /Wp64, in order to
catch instructions that on a 64-bit platform have unwanted side effect
(long!=size_t)

What about planning to release Xerces-C++ 3.0 as the next release, as the
current policy would require? This way we have the chance to clean up the
enums, add some "const" keywords to some signatures, and complete the work
on DOML3 (that requires renaming some methods that have changed signature
since the working draft we implemented).

Alberto
