Hi,
I've passes a whole load of conformnces test files to Xerces (just extracted
from CVS today).
A set of test files pass which should fail and which James Clark's detects ate
failures:
I'd just like to know if the following is a known problem or if there was a
reason for this Xerces behaviour. If this is a problem then I will need to look
under the hood of Xerces and figure out where to put in a fix.
The XML standard in Section 2.9 states the following validity constraint:
"The standalone document declaration must have the value "no" if any external
markup declarations contain declaration of:
....
element types with element content, if white space occurs directly within any
instance of those types."
The following XML file should not be validated, but is thought to be valid by
Xerces:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<!DOCTYPE root SYSTEM "../valid/sa.dtd">
<root>
<child>
The whitespace before and after this element keeps
this from being standalone.
</child>
</root>
The DTD is as follows:
<!ELEMENT child (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT attributes EMPTY>
<!--
2.9 gives validity constraints applying to attributes
in standalone docs: no external defaults or decls
causing normalization.
3.3.3 describes the normalization rules
-->
