It's worth pointing out the 0xD (along with 0x9 and 0xA) are valid characters in XML[1], which is what we define[2] as the range of characters acceptable for OSM tags. Hopefully there aren't any actual control characters in the prohibited ranges being returned from the API/diffs/dumps, although I suspect there are some still lingering in the utf8 fields in the database, just that nobody will ever notice[3]. Cheers, Andy [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets [2] Not that we've ever written that down anywhere, afaik [3] Until someone starts making json outputs, and we remember that all our character-range checking is implicit in our XML libraries rather than explicit in the models... _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
