Good point ! I have to think about how to 'internalize' and reuse a string.
A string internalizer is something that might have general interest outside of the XML API.
Indeed. There is a class called "name" in the Adobe Open Source libraries that is an interned string and I've recently had call to use it in a project. The implementation is simple (it doesn't bother with reference counts, and thus never garbage collects) but it works nicely. Thanks Sean! -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
