I agree. In fact I had the impression after the first round of discussions about this those several months ago that this logical default / documentation change was going to be done, but I may be mistaken. It's something that may be giving Xerces2 a poorer reputation for performance (among those who care) than it deserves. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
