XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Harold - java FAQ <elharo AT metalab.unc.edu>]

I talked with John Cowan during an Extreme coffee break and we did a 
little thinking about what's required for XOM to work with Tag Soup. 
Warning: so far this is all theoretical. We haven't actually tried any of 
this yet.

Looking at the Builder code, I think the Tag Soup parser just need to be 
able to handle this block of code:

parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes";, true);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities";, 
true);
parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities";, 
true);

In other words, Tag Soup needs to not throw any exceptions on this code. 
Other requirements:

1. It never calls skippedEntity()
2. It handles namespace declaratuion attributes by as indicated by setting 
the namespaces and namespace-prefixes features to true.

Hmm, that gives me a few more ideas for John's "Balises de Soupe -  Be 
Evil" poster. I'll add them at the coffee break.
