But he did say “escaping < and &”, so it would be. I’m not sure
what Bill’s question even is.

I'm not certain I understand the issue, but if the question concerns
what happens when an Atom processor encounters a document with no
declared entities and contains a title like this:

 hmm

that is an XML fatal error, no doubt, as the ampersand before "nbsp"
must be escaped. Concretely, Mozilla will give you a DOM with a
non-breaking space if you write this:

IIRC, WG discussion touched on this point, and the WG decided the
definition wasn't important, given the example. Is there a problem
you're hoping to clear up?

clarification: "escaped"

2006-07-25 Thread Bill de hÓra 


The RFC says that the content should be 'escaped' for type 'text/html' 
in 3.1.1.2, but dosn't define what that is. Is it as defined in XML:


http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-escape

?
