http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26995 HTML DOM should be marked deprecated or removed from xercesImpl.jar Summary: HTML DOM should be marked deprecated or removed from xercesImpl.jar Product: Xerces2-J Version: 2.6.1 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: DOM AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The HTML DOM implementation can not not read XHTML (which uses lower-case tag names, HTML DOM requires uppercase), and can not be easily modernized without breaking any existing apps that depend on its current behavior. However, the behavior is so broken that there may not be any apps that actually use it in its current state. The HTML DOM adds a substantial amount of bulk to xercesImpl.jar. Deprecating org.apache.xerces.html.dom.HTMLBuilder or removing the HTML DOM from xercesImpl.jar's build would clearly signal the breakage of any hypothetical existing apps which would allow the code to be modified to accept XHTML and to potentially be loaded on demand from an separate jar file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
