ElementState patch (again)

[Brian Thomas <th...@adc.gsfc.nasa.gov>]

	Hi,

	I am working on a scientific data format for XML, XDF
 (http://xml.gsfc.nasa.gov/XDF). As part of the project, I want to subclass
 various parts of the DOM object tree to put in place various convience
 methods to access XDF portions of the DOM. I find that the way that Xerces
 (1.4.3 and now 1.4.4) is written prevents this, namely, the
 ElementState.java class doesnt declare its fields to be public. Below I have
 included a (very simple) patch that will remedy the situation.

	The last time I submitted this patch I was resoundingly ignored. Is there a
 better place to submit (short) patches like this, or is there great
 resistance to making these fields public, or was the ball dropped from the
 last time I submitted the patch?

							Regards,

							-b.t.

I've applied your patch to Xerces2 code. 
It is better to submit patches to xerces-j-dev list.
