[Expat-discuss] Missing feature: Inability to request the use of SkippedEntityHandler through code alone.

[Max Bowsher]

For applications which need to reproduce the parsed XML with minimal
representational change (e.g., so that the modified document can be
reasonably diff-ed against the original), it is critical to know about
entities themselves, rather than what they represent.

However, even if the application provides a SkippedEntityHandler, expat
ignores it, prefering to raise an error, unless the document itself
contains a DTD including a parameter entity reference.

It should be possible for the application using expat to request that
all undefined entities be reported to the SkippedEntityHandler
regardless of the document itself.


Thanks,
Max.
