Hello all, I am not sure if the definition of XML processor includes the ability to create XML documents. According to the definition stated in XML Recommendation, "A software module called an XML processor is used to read XML documents and provide access to their content and structure." If a software module provides facility to create and/or modify XML documents on top of whatever that constitutes an XML processor, then it would be incorrect to categorize that software module as an XML processor (based on the given definition). For example, XML4J provides facility to create and/or modify XML documents in memory. Is XML4J an XML processor? Or perhaps, the definition of XML processor should include XML document "creation" (or similar terms). This is a trivial problem but using correct terminology is an important step to avoid ambiguities. I am seeking advice on how to address a software module such as XML4J. Thank you, Kelvin Yeow
