Cool!  I think they used to fail nothing at all, but maybe that's wrong;
it's been a while.  There are also xml conformance tests to run; they've
been updated a bit, and W3C finally took that stuff over.  I haven't run
either set of tests.

If anyone updated them, they didn't tell me.

It might be in the spam filter queue, there's so much of that that I
refuse to go through it more than once a week any more.  (Mailman
tells me I have to press "delete" a few hundred times ... there's
no satisfaction in such pointless tasks!)

But in this case the issue looks to be using an ancient version
of SAX.

I think you're using the wrong version of SAX then.  Is your
class path set correctly then?  For some reason Sun seems to
be doing to SAX what MSFT wanted to do to Java:  ship only old
and incompatible versions.

And thank you!

Entity handling -- on input and output -- can be exceedingly tricky.
It's an error where the W3C has consistently avoided making things
be simple and straightforward.  Since those are the biases of AElfred,
some bugs there are to be expected.

But not in that test.

All those used to work correctly. Not sure what's up.

What JVM were you using?

Yoiks, no idea where those come from.
