Hi folks,

Once xerces2 beta3 comes out, we'll probably want to move fairly quickly on
integrating schema support more closely into the Xerces2 code base.  Aside
from where all the files should live--a question which we've discussed
before and about which I'll post again hopefully tomorrow--, one of the
questions we'll have to answer is whether to have the SchemaValidator as a
component in the StandardParserConfiguration or whether to continue the
practice of having a SchemaParserConfiguration extending
StandardParserConfiguration.

Although you can always argue that the number of possible configurations is
infinite, I'm persuaded that there are enough folks who want to only use
DTD's--especially in performance-critical applications--that having a
separate SchemaParserConfiguration class makes sense.  On the other hand, I
imagine it's less likely people would only want schema validation without
any kind of DTD validation; some folks like to use entities in their schema
documents.

What do people think?  Is providing a DTD-only configuration worth having
an extra class?

Cheers,
Neil
