Package: kxmleditor Version: 1.1.4-1 Severity: important The program refuses to accept colons in element names.
According to the XML specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#sec-common-syn Note: The colon character within XML names is reserved for experimentation with name spaces. Its meaning is expected to be standardized at some future point, at which point those documents using the colon for experimental purposes may need to be updated. (There is no guarantee that any name-space mechanism adopted for XML will in fact use the colon as a name-space delimiter.) In practice, this means that authors should not use the colon in XML names except as part of name-space experiments, but that XML processors should accept the colon as a name character. --- According to the adopted standard for media rss, element names are defined as having colons. Therefore, the program cannot be used to create valid XML files for rss syndication, 'podcasting' or similar. Please see: http://search.yahoo.com/mrss and a specific example of a media rss XML file with colons in the namespace: http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/mrss-5.xml http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_RSS Given the XML specification says should not, rather than must not, kxmleditor shouldn't refuse to allow colons in element names. Given some standards for XML do explicitly define the colon, it is important kxmleditor does allow colons. Perhaps the best behaviour is if kxmleditor passively warns the user if the user is entering colons into element names. At all other times treat colons as any other character in element names. It is possible to enter colons into the UI in the current version by editing an element after it has been created, however, the colon is lost when the document is saved. I have tested kxmleditor in kde 3.4. The behaviour is the same. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages kxmleditor depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.3.2-6.1 KDE core libraries ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.3.4-3 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 kxmleditor recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
