The attached patch makes two changes to the ErrorHandler documentation:
1. It clarifies that namespace well-formedness errors are fatal
errors. Crimson is not in conformanc with this, which has been a
major problem for many users. All other parsers written in Java
seem to implement this correctly.
2. It clarifies that parsers MUST NOT continue reporting events in
the normal way following a fatal error. Previously the docs gave
the erroneous impression that this could be done at parser option.
However, doing so would be in direct violation of the XML
specification.
Thanks. I'm going to postpone applying these patches. I personally
am in full agreement with both, but they deserve more discussion
than they can get this close to a release.
I can live with postponing 1, though we really shouldn't. It would
only be an issue for one abandoned but common parser (Crimson).
I see no reason to not apply 2 now. The XML spec is clear here. We'd
just be duplicating that language in the SAX spec for developers who
haven't read the XML specification more times than they've seen the
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
