Well, IBM, for one, uses Xerces in its Java platform and is facing this kind of problem too (cf DOM Level 3 vs 2 discussion). The right solution is for Sun to relax its signature tests concerning "endorsed standards". Now that Sun officially supports a mechanism to override these endorsed standards it is only logical to include the same kind of support in its conformance tests. If you could help in any way on that front that would be very nice of you. -- Arnaud Le Hors - IBM, XML Standards Strategy Group / W3C AC Rep. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
