OK. I have not yet had to pay much attention to these XML DTD / name space issues - so help me out on this. AFAIK the name space is defined in the header of the XML, i this case the standard Atom header:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:content=" http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"; xmlns:wfw=" http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/"; xmlns:rdf=" http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:dc=" http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/";> So my guess is that this would work in Rev if i tell the external how to interpret the name spaces by pointin it to the DTD. however changeing the revXmlcreateTree function to be strict and not ignore badly formed XML makes no odds - and there does not sseem to be a way of hooking the external up to the external DTDs other than a simple check. 2008/8/29 Malte Brill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > While this is inconvenient behaviour, it might be argued that it is > correct, or at least standard compliant. ;-) This is a standard Atom feed - the XML name spaces are defined in the headers with valid DTDs - or am I missing something? > There are XML libraries for other environments, that handle the 1st case > exactly the way rev does, others do not lose the namespace.

I am not really able to comment on this knowledgeably. I'd be pretty confident it is all standards compliant - but that is relying on the source and my scattered reading around XML DTDs. From a user point of view - you want to make it as easy as possible to parse the most common XML feeds out here. It looks bad if it breaks with Atom feeds, and bad = bug in my language. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
