Hmm, does this proposal require adding a test of well-formed-ness to a code path that doesn't currently have one? If so, is that likely to contribute any noticeable slowdown? I can't offhand see an objection to this other than possible performance impact.
Yeah, testing the well-formedness might cost a bit. We could short-circuit the test by applying some comparatively fast heuristic tests.
Or we could decide that we'll just fix the xpath prefix part for 8.3 and keep the wrapping. I don't want to spend a huge effort on fixing something I regard as fundamentally broken.
I'll do some tests to see what the cost of extra xml parsing might be. cheers andrew We -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
