>Agreed - the SAXogenists on this list can take a warm feeling away.
SAX is great. I've now got an ActiveX version and a C++ version going and I
really love it. ( not 100% yet )

For interest, have there been any developments of a 'lower level' SAX to
expose DTD info too ?

In my XML toolkit I want to expose events that enable the caller to use
information from the DTD however *they* want. I will of course provide a
high level interface too, but it would be nice to have a stream of events
like:

startDocType
startEntity
startElementDef
endElementDef
startAttribDef
startAttribElementSeq
endAttribElementSeq
startAttribElementSeq
endAttribElementSeq
endAttribDef
endEntity
endDoctype

You get the basic idea.

Regards,

Richard.
