i also emailed ben privately on this one, because i felt it was
urgent, and i intended to post the reply back to the bboard.
i think it would be nice to have the package summaries in the apm,
but for me it was more a matter of extra xml lying around and i just
went through the trouble of writing a generic sax stack object
handler and had this handy dandy framework that was in want of
use:), in other words i climbed the mountain because it was there
and looked like a molehill:)
re parsers. moving to one sounds ideal, i guess we're not using the
oracle java parser:). umm... looking through the source of nsxml it
looks like it was written by curis galloway of aD march 2000...
unless i'm missing something it looks like its going to the way of
all aD tcl things, which considering it hasn't been touched in the
last 6 months isn't a big change. someone want to take up the torch?
as far as the bugginess of libxml goes, i mistook, i was under the
impression that ns_xml was working against libxml1 but looking over
the source i see its for libxml2, which is a pretty nice system. fyi
about libxml1, i'll let the authors speak for themselves, go to
libxml.org and notice the warnings in red on both the front page and
faq that state Do Not Use libxml1.
