Nokia and Sun have posted the public review draft of JSR-280 XML API for JavaTM ME . to the Java Community Process (JCP). This attempts to subset SAX, StAX, JAXP, and DOM to run in small devices. This strikes me as such as bad idea, it's hard to believe they're serious. If size is such a concern (and in small devices it is) then pick one API and stick with it; or design a new one. Don't try to pull out half of each. Including both SAX and StAX in particular really smells of design by committee. There's no need to force both on device vendors. Pick one and be done with it. Comments are due by November 13.
