RE: [xml-dev] How to handle "newline" characters in an XML parser.
That's what SGML said about XML.  Kettle is black.

What serves no purpose is to say it is XML 1.0 or 1.1, that is, to use the
public MIME type or header for XML 1.0 or 1.1 in combination with the tool.
That confuses people and the Internet.  OTW, using a subset of XML isn't a
problem.  Using a variant tool and claiming it processes XML is.

I'm so looking forward to the messages from users saying "how do I get [tool
x] to serialize my data in a form that the Redefined.Horizons parser will
accept?"

Subsetting XML does no-one a service.
