Re: feature http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/dynamic]

Hi all,

While I'll admit that my feelings about this don't run particularly deep,
it seems that it would be best if this could be closed off before the next
release.  So here's another message supporting Sandy's idea that the
dynamic-validation feature should have effect, when set, whatever's been
done to the validation feature.  This almost certainly can't break anyone,
is dead simple, and accords with the wording of our docs; so why not do it
and get on with life?

Cheers,
Neil

Personally, I like the "you obviously meant" behavior -- turning dynamic 
on should imply validation is turned on if not already on. Turning 
validation off should turn dynamic off if it isn't already off.

(What we *really* want is a single parameter, validationMode, which covers 
all the combinations of schema/dtd must/may/must-not be consulted. But 
given how the APIs have been standardized, it's a bit late to make that 
large a change.)
