Hi Elliott, Looks to me like the XML 1.1 CR spec requires XML 1.1 processors to treat XML documents explicitly declared to be 1.0-compliant, or implicitly declared so by not including a version pseudoattribute, as they would be treated by an XML 1.0 processor. All that to say: unless the TCK explicitly contains tests that a processor reject documents that claim to be XML 1.1 (which I don't believe it currently does), then there shouldn't be anything preventing a 1.1-compliant parser from passing the JAXP 1.2 TCK. So, hopefully there won't be any problems, on this front at least. Cheers!

Of those, I think XML 1.1 is the only one that matters. I think the other three are all strict supersets of the earlier specs. (Well, XSLT isn't; but the version attribute lets you figure out which version you've got a hold of.) I don't think you can be compliant with SAX 2.0.1 or DOM3 without being compatible with SAX 2.0 and DOM 2. XML 1.1 is an issue. -- +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@metalab.unc.edu | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML in a Nutshell, 2nd Edition (O'Reilly, 2002) | | http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/xian2/ | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D0596002920/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://www.cafeaulait.org/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://www.cafeconleche.org/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: webmaster@xml.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@xml.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- In case of troubles, e-mail: webmaster@xml.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@xml.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@xml.apache.org
