I don't think it make sense to fix the current code that is in CVS b/c it is an old snapshot of the code which has never been updated. Basically, the fixes are in the latest version which is in xml-commons. This particular package, javax.xml.parsers, is code that is common to all JAXP compliant parsers and so that code was developed independent of Xerces -- along with the JAXP RI (Reference Implementation) which was crimson at the time. During the time the code was developed, none of those changes got put back to xerces which is why it may appear so different. The changes were checked into xml-commons but not propogated to xerces until recently. -Edwin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
