Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't see many use cases for the strict mode. It is not strict enough to be used for validation, and while parsing HTML I can't think of any other case where I would want an exception raised (always as long as what is parsed by the tolerant mode is a superset of what is parsed by the strict mode).
If the parser is still able to parse what it was parsing before, I wouldn't worry too much about backward compatibility, because I can't imagine a valid use case where people would want the parser to fail (maybe someone else can?). ---------- stage: test needed -> commit review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7311> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
