Re: development 1.1.1 version of XmlPull API

Alek,


I am still having some trouble with kXML and the tests:

- the tests seem to imply that the reader/input stream
   must not be touched until the first call to next().
   In my opinion, setInputStream (is, encoding) should
   be allowed to determine the encoding immediately (as
   far as I remember, we already had a corressp. dicussion
   here in the list...??)

- in my opinion, setPrefix should be setPrefix (String prefix,
   String namespace), instead of setPrefix (String namespace, String prefix)
   in order to reflect the xmlns:prefix="namespace" order??

- Would it be a big problem to display the current
   XML input document in the case of an parser error?
   Sometimes it is a bit difficult what is going on in
   the tests....?

Best,
Stefan
