Saxon

I have changed CommentImpl, AttributeImpl, and ProcInstImpl to be public (and not final)

In DocumentImpl I have changed several setters including setDocumentElement to be public

Hi,

We miss setters in DocumentImpl in order to deal with DocType it would be nice to have a new class to hold DOCTYPE information. We have seen there is already an XSLT function to create DOCTYPE information in output tree I wonder if the functionality should be in the DocumentImpl or not.

There's no support for DOCTYPE in XDM, and if we were adding it to DocumentImpl, then I think users would expect XPath extensions functions to get (and perhaps create the information). You say "We have seen there is already an XSLT function to create DOCTYPE information in output tree" -- I'm not sure what you are referring to. Both the xsl:output doctype-system/doctype-public properties, and the saxon:doctype extension instruction, only affect serialized output, they do not allow anything to be written to the result tree itself.

Note also that DocumentImpl provides extensibility via the setUserData() method.

Thanks, we are moving slow on our implementation and this is the reason I'm reporting this now.

If possible, we would like to create an extension class of net.sf.saxon.tree.linked.DocumentImpl (which is now final) and a method "makeDocumentNode" in the net.sf.saxon.tree.linked.NodeFactory interface to create such nodes during the XML sax parsing.

Cheers,
