elharo commented on XMLRPC-60:
------------------------------

A quick perusal of the MinML web page shows that it advertises non-conformance 
to XML. In particular it fails to handle the internal DTD subset as required by 
the XML specification. I don't doubt that I could find other non-conformances 
if I actually started parsing documents with it.

> MinML is not an XML parser, It does not correctly implement the XML 
> specification in a variety of ways. It should not be bundled and should not 
> be used. Given that Java 1.4 now includes a much more conformant parser (and 
> Java 1.5 includes an even better one) there's no excuse for distributing a 
> non-conformant parser like MinML. XML-RPC is XML, and nothing less than a 
> real XML parser can handle it correctly.
