Started a new page with some notes about what's changing in Expat 3.

Browse source 
Largely a placeholder at this point, but this can be used to tell the
community about what Expat 3 will "look like."

<p> This page describes some of the changes which should be expected
in Expat 3. These are intended as notes made by the developers as
things get thought through; these can change at any time. This is
<em>not</em> a projected feature list for Expat 3; to learn about the
target features, please read the <cite><a href="roadmap.html">Expat
Development Roadmap</a></cite>. The changes described here are much
more focused on the details of Expat 3, and no attempt has been made
to balance the description of small changes with major new feature
development. </p>
<p> This list is not complete; we'll add to this as we think of things
and have time to write about them. </p>
<ul>
<li> All structural event callback functions will return an
<code>XML_Status</code> value that the parser will check. This will
allow an application to stop or suspend processing without having to
use <code>setjmp()</code>/<code>longjmp()</code> hackery. </li>
<li> The parser will support suspension of parsing to allow an
application to pause parsing temporarily. A new
<code>XML_Status</code> value, <code>XML_STATUS_SUSPEND</code>, can
be returned by the event callbacks to indicate that Expat should
suspend parsing; the parser will then return from
<code>XML_Parse()</code>, returning <code>XML_STATUS_SUSPEND</code>.
Applications can resume parsing by calling
<code>XML_ParseResume()</code>. </li>
</ul>
