Another relevant point here would be that R309 *could* conceivably imply that an XP envelope should be processable without an in-memory representation existing. Or in other words, that a stream/event based API like SAX should be usable, thereby allowing the application to take action before the full document is processed. Unfortunately, that also complicates the processing interface, as well-formedness errors may not be detected until after the application has already done something important (the original R309 recognized this, I believe). This requires tediously specifying a lot of error handling behaviour, but I believe the benefit to be worth it. Anyhow, we're still just working on requirements. The necessary discussion about this issue won't happen for a while. MB
