<P><FONT SIZE=2>> My proposed solution was to make the verifier a separate, optional</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> step. When the user creates a document in-memory (as opposed to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> parsing</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> a file), then should run the verifier on it when they're done. Many</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> people won't do this, and that's their prerogative, but at some point</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> down the line some XML parser will find the error when their document</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> gets parsed, so it's not the end of the world. (That's why the parser</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> required to be so strict, IMO - so the generator doesn't have to be.)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just to add a user's opinion - I'm in complete agreement with Alex. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The code I'm writing is 100% unit tested and the verifier step is just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>wasted cpu cycles. If JDOM is delivered like this I for one will just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hack it and make it verification-optional.</FONT>
