Subject: AdaCore xmlada throws XML_Fatal_Error on <script> tag

I'm trying to write code to use AdaCore xmlada to parse a web page (an album listing on Discogs; https://www.discogs.com/Beth-Nielsen-Chapman-You-Hold-The-Key/release/9938848 for example) to extract information.

For now, I'm manually copying the file to my local disk; I can change that to use http access later.

The file has <script> </script> elements that the xmlada Sax reader can't handle; it tries to parse the content of the tag, which of course is _not_ in xml format.

In my brief study of the manual and the code, I don't see any way to add a hook function that would let me specify how to parse that tag; is there such a feature?

Failing that, I guess I'll have to edit the xmlada code to add support for <script>.

Unless there's another/better xml library for Ada out there?
