I've heard (did not find any mention in 1.99 documentation) that orocos 2.0
will not be compatible with xerces 2.x, requiring xerces 3.x Is that true?
Since xerces 3.x is not backcompatible with xerces 2.x, does orocos 1.x
support both?
In any case, what are the advantages of using xerces over using the internal
orocos xml parser?
thanks

For example, to support Entities, although Stephen just noted that it does not
work yet as expected. But also the error checking of xerces is *much* better.
With the internal one, it's orocos detecting the errors, with xerces, the DTD
is checked first, catching errors early.

Yes. According to brief testing yesterday, v1 supports both X2 and X3.
