I have mixed feelings. There are really two things that we could do: We could add Expat to our CVS repository, which means syncing a bunch of files everytime a new Expat release comes out
I thought MvL had already volunteered to do this?
There are other candidates which would fit this role just as well (in particular, Fredrik's sgmlop looks like a nice extension since it not only works with XML but also many other meta languages).
See Martin's comments about this. I think this precludes inclusion of sgmlop until the problems it has have been addressed in the implementation.
cannot fix bugs if nobody bothers to report them ;-) (the crash issue appears to be a rumour; there was a bug when running in SGML mode, but that was fixed long ago. people using the current release in real-life applications haven't reported any stability problems...) on the other hand, sgmlop itself will never be anything but a "fast but sloppy" XML tokenizer. if you risk running into xml compliance nazis <0.1 wink>, you shouldn't use it. </F>
