SAX-J and the DPH (DJH?)

[Sean Mc Grath]

So this works if:

 1) No more than 1 telephone number per line [Chris]
 2) No cdata marked sections [Chris]
 3) The attribute value literal for client does not have any entity
references [Sean - suggested]
 4) The target telephone number does not contain entity references [Sean -
suggested ]
 5) appendix elements do not nest [Sean - suggested]
 6) Telephone numbers do not nest (problem if regexp matching is greedy)
[Sean - suggested]

Others? I think a little list of "gotchas" like this would find the way
onto many a DPH's wall (including mine!).
