Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT]: Xerces-J 2.6.0 now available

This is not what I said. I talked about people who "will turn this on 
without understanding what it means." I disagree with Elliotte but it's 
clear to me that he understands what this is about.

I choose to end the debate with Elliotte because I think it is pointless 
to discuss the value of XML 1.1. This debate has already taken place in 
another forum: the W3C, with far more parties involved than Elliotte and 
me. And I respect that process and its result. I think it is essential 
that once the stds debate is over we all get behind the standard and 
endorse it independently of we individually think.

Elliotte appears to have different views on that, that's his right, but 
one of the goals of this project has always been to support standards 
and I'm against using it to do just the opposite.

end your rather interesting debate with Elliotte with an ad hominen

Because I think it's wrong to let users limit their system to 1.0, so
I'm against making this easy. All sorts of people misled by people like
Elliotte will turn this on without understanding what it means.
