Users have not expressed much interest (at least not in the Apache forums) and no one has ever volunteered to do the work in Xerces. At least a few folks [1][2] in the community have made attempts at an implementation for themselves but didn't get very far. As I said the last time someone asked about an implementation of this spec, I only see this getting done if those who are most interested in an implementation in Xerces volunteer to do the work. I'm one of the few active developers around here these days and don't have the kind of time I used to for tackling new features and already have other things (e.g. JAXP 1.4, StAX, XML Schema 1.1) which I'm helping to push forward (albeit slowly) when I do find some time. We really need more help from the community. > I came across Oracle XDK which seems to have implemented this validation > spec, but I don't think it would be correct way to go. > > Thanks > Umesh > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
