I suppose the SAX spec doesn't forbid that but Xerces doesn't do that. You'll get a startElement() event followed by an endElement() event. The only exception to that is if you're doing schema validation and the validator inserted a default element value. Then you'll get a characters() event. > I am presently not sure, what the SAX standard says.
