[jdom-interest] Bugs in SAXOutputter

[Laurent Bihanic]

Hi,

While reading the SAXOutputter code (latest from CVS), I found 2 apparent bugs:

1. No support for Comments as Element children
SAXOutputter fires SAX events for Comment nodes in method output(Document) but 
not in method elementContent(Element, NamespaceStack). Hence only top level 
comments are outputted.

2. No support for CDATA
The method characters(String) should be changed (adding an argument or a new 
method) to support reporting whether the outputted text is regular or CDATA 
using LexicalHandler's start/endCDATA methods.

Finally, SAXOutputter's code never checks for EntityRef nodes. Thus these 
simply disappear from the outputted document. Is this on purpose? Shouldn't 
JDOM at least use ContentHandler's skippedEntity?

Laurent
