BUG in validation

[Philippe MOUAWAD <ph...@effix.fr>]

There's a bug in your parser.
When I try
SAXCount -v bug.xml

It says there are 3 elements.
But this XML file is not well-formed.

It's not a bug in SAXCount but in the parser itself or in the init of it.
When I try the same file with jaxp parser it detects the bug.

Thanks
Phil

Your document is NOT valid but IS well-formed. Regardless, there was
a bug in the simple content model (the model that handles validation
for simple things: a; a?; a+; a*; a,b; a|b) when it was validating
simple sequences. I have fixed this bug and the change is in CVS.

The XML document is well-formed and contains three elements,
BUG, TOTO, and TITI.

The jaxp parser must have validation turned on. If you turn on validation
in SAXcount, you'll get the same result, I'm sure.
