[Xerces2] Requirements issue 38: The parser should support RELAX.

[Ed Staub <es...@mediaone.net>]

I'd like to take a quick survey on this before calling for a vote.

I'd guess that no one really wants this requirement per se.
I think the requirement is really for pluggable grammars, of which RELAX is
an example.
Is that correct?

I would agree with your assessment. We plan on using a
"universal" validator so as long as the grammars are
expressive enough, this should be no problem.

Anytime that you allow new types of grammars, though,
you have to address the problem of associating those
grammars in the instance document. But this is an
implementation issue -- perhaps I should add it to my
list.

Actually, I'm interested in RELAX.  But not enough to make it a requirement.
I
agree here that the requirement is for mechanism to make it easy to do RELAX
or (dare I say it) XDR.
