Re: [xml] Still trying to handle entities using the SAX interface

["Peter Jacobi" <pj walter-graphtek com>]

Hi Daniel, Fabrizio, All,

I'm trying to dive into this issue a.s.a.p. (which may be not that soon), as 
I assume my apps are affected too. 

I don't think it would be wise to handle the SAX API as minor and less 
important. I'm using libxml for all sort of XML handling, sometimes DOM 
is the better fit and sometimes and wouldn't work at all (file size). And I 
wouldn't like to use two different libs for SAX and DOM.

Daniel, I don't want to put more work on your shoulders, I pretty much 
understand that I have to do something myself.

Regards,
Peter Jacobi
