A user of the custom configuration I've developed asked if there was a way to automatically change broken links. In his case, he had about 20 elements with an IDREF attribute referring to one element containing an ID. When he changed the ID of that one element, the IDREF links were broken (of course). While it is definitely nice that the Validity Tool showed him all 20 places, he still had to go and fix them one-by-one by hand.
So, we're wondering if there is a way now to have XXE fix such broken links automatically. If not, would it be possible to make XXE do something like the following? Any time an ID attribute gets changed, remember the value before the change. Based on the DTD/schema, find all elements containing an IDREF/IDREFS attribute whose value was/contains the value before the change. Then change the value of the IDREF/IDREFS attribute in those elements to the new value. Such a capability would make the user's experience with XXE even better than it is now.
