Thanks! Yesterday I downloaded xpp3 sources, and got
the tests. Now "only" 55 tests fail (error/fail). :-)
But I did find one actual bug with namehandling in the
implementation I wrote... so that was good. :-)
Plus obviously there are lots of things tests kind of
defined WRT xmlpull api; for example, type of
exceptions to be thrown on illegal args. Javadocs
often are vague about expected types.

One question regarding xmlpull and mapping to StAX: I
assume PROCESS_DOC_DECL from xmlpull is roughly
equivalent to StAX' SUPPORT_DTD, and then validation
enabling features are also similar/identical. Is this
correct? Former meaning 'read dtd, internal/external
subset, use entities but', and latter that 'validate
using dtdf rules'?

Now, what I'm not sure about is how validation
enabling should work. I mean, most (2 out of 3)
xmlpull parsers do not implement (DTD-based)
validation, but tests try to enable it. Is expected
behaviour just to 'succeed' in setting validation (no
exceptions), but return 'false' if feature's value is
checked? Right now my StAX implementation throws an
exception when trying to enable it (which may or may
not be right for stax), but I could make wrapper catch
that exception if necessary, if that's not how xmlpull
expects things to work.
(one difference between stax and xmlpull is that stax
has 'isPropertySupported' method that can be used to
check existence of a property/feature... too bad it
can't tell if value being set is acceptable).
