Subject: RE: [election-services] Proposed Changes to v4
The person who reported the original problem using Xerces is happy with the changes I made, so I believe that there are no more changes required. Could anyone let me know if they have problems with this or any other parser. I would also be interested in knowing which parsers (including version number) people are using successfully with EML, especially following the next release.
