Mukul,
Thanks for responding. Xerces-J's behavior is consistent with the
behavior I've seen in Gecko and Safari that prompted me to ask the
question in the first place. Both Gecko/20080110's and Safari 3.?'s XML
parsers report the above example as a parse error as well, with very
similar messages.
I'm trying to determine if triggering a parse error is the _only_
correct behavior, if it is open to interpretation, or if it is
incorrect. If you know of a way to determine which of these three
possibilities is the case, I'd love to know.
Thanks,
Matt
