No. I just suggest/ask kindly to provide a very clean documentation for
the projects that include and use XMLC (for example my favourite one -
Enhydra), so that the other application developers in future won't have
to fight the very same problems I faced when I tried to actually *use*
the XHTML in todays browsers.

I have updated OutputOptions to provide more explanation of the various options. Check out the latest CVS and run javadoc to see what I added. Hopefully, this will suffice for documentation.

In other words, I agree with the non-quirks settings so that stock XMLC
produces 100% pure XML, but at the same time I wish the Enhydra worked
out-of-the-box and to generated 100% *compatible* XHTML/HTML (for todays
standard of browsers, i.e. IE 6/Gecko browsers generation).

Oh, good. That's one vote (other than mine) for keeping the defaults quirks free :-)

Here I assume it's possible for Enhydra to modify the OutputOptions
internally since the document.writeDOM() is Enhydra's method, right?

Hmm... Not really sure. There are a writeDOM() methods in XMLCContext that look like this...

public void writeDOM(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
OutputOptions outputOptions,
XMLObject document) throws IOException {


public void writeDOM(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
XMLObject document) throws IOException {

The latter method grabs the default output options, adds a couple options, and calls the former method. So, I imagine that Enhydra does the same thing. The javadoc information I added to OutputOptions should provide some insight as to what options Enhydra might want to add for out-of-the-box functionality for various document types.

So
the guys at Enhydra team need to know what XMLC quirks to enable - and
for this I'd like to see the clear bit of documentation.

Hopefully OutputOptions is now clear enough.

Thanks for listening. I haven't done a bit of work on XMLC so my voice
can't be as strong as yours but I think I got a point above.

Always speak up. You were heard (eventually) and now the result is an XMLC that should work much better for you and others. Thanks for contributing :-)
