[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-597?page=comments#action_12365607 ]
Dmitry Hayes commented on XALANC-597: ------------------------------------- "In the absence of external character encoding information (such as MIME headers), parsed entities which are stored in an encoding other than UTF-8 or UTF-16 MUST begin with a text declaration (see 4.3.1 The Text Declaration) containing an encoding declaration" Seems that the both versions of the outcome are legal. The difference makes how the user uses it . For senting over http the text declaration is unnessesary. If the output will be used as a regular external parsed entity , and then the text declaration is required. Should we give the user an option to choose the way he wants his steak ? For example , we can add such proprety to XalanTransformer > Serializers for encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 should not omit the XML > declaration > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XALANC-597 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-597 > Project: XalanC > Type: Bug > Versions: CurrentCVS > Reporter: David Bertoni > Assignee: David Bertoni > Attachments: patch.diff > > Our new serializer for encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 will omit the > XML declaration if the xsl:output element attribute omit-xml-declaration is > equal to "yes." This is contrary to what the XSLT recommendation states, as > it can create XML that is not well-formed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
