I think we should be compatible as possible. People do depend on the
output (sadly). Sun does (did) recognize this problem, and started
documenting the output of toString()...

Guys,
have we agreed on toString compatibility? Our compatibility guideline
[1] says nothing about compatibility of toString results...
I think that we do not *need* to follow the RI in this case. Since
toString results are not documented and it will be strange to see an
application which is rely on them. Or we can discuss each case.
Thoughts?
The second question: should we apply the patch from HARMONY-2085 [2]
which just makes javax.swing.text.html.parser.Element.toString()
method compatible with RI.
SY, Alexey
