W3 determines what's legal XML, it doesn't determine what's legal as an OSM username. For example, W3 obviously allows strings of 2 characters. But an OSM username must be at least 3 characters. > As for the rails code, there is (AFAIK) no explicit character > checking.

I'm not concerned about what is allowed in the XML requests and responses. I'm concerned about what's allowed in an OSM username, [tag] key, and [tag] value. I just tried changing my display name to "<b>hello</b>". I get an error "Display Name is invalid". That's certainly a string which can be encoded in XML using libxml. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
