I wonder what Bob does when his Windows XP is crashing or catches a virus :-) Well, at least whoever reads the user mail at MSFT is paid for reading his rants, we're not. And they got his money too.
As for the 'validate' flag - maybe we should just remove it: - it slows down startup - it is optional in the spec - we know it doesn't work with most parsers, including versions bundled in JDK - the whole schema validation thing is a bad idea anyway. Is anyone really using this flag ? Bob, if you're still on the list - why would you want to turn on this flag ? I never found any use for it ( except to slow down startup and get exceptions ).
