Re: [orbit-dev] More Batik Fun: Need to split the org.w3c.dom package. P

["Christian W. Damus" <give.a.damus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Gunnar,

Thanks for your reply!  If I understand correctly, what makes the  
package "split" is simply re-exporting it without the mandatory  
matching attribute, so that not doing so preserves the integrity of  
the "official" content.  I am wholly in agreement with that and it  
sounds like it shouldn't be difficult.  My only concern would be that  
clients of Batik who need to use the operations provided by this  
interface would have to import the package using the matching  
attribute, which then would result in them not seeing the rest of the  
DOM API.  This should be easy to test, I suppose.

Cheers,

Christian
