Guys,

have we agreed on toString compatibility? Our compatibility guideline
[1] says nothing about compatibility of toString results...


iirc, Geir has asked SUN about toString issue, and we have no problem to
keep the same string as RI's. To avoid unnecessary compatibility problem,
we'd better return the same value, and we also agreed to do this job
lazily.  :)

I think that we do not *need* to follow the RI in this case. Since
toString results are not documented and it will be strange to see an
application which is rely on them. Or we can discuss each case.

Thoughts?

The second question: should we apply the patch from HARMONY-2085 [2]
which just makes javax.swing.text.html.parser.Element.toString()
method compatible with RI.

SY, Alexey
