I currently have "xml" as the name of the xml_quote_no_more class,

The talk of xml has me wondering about a new feature. I would find
useful
a feature of qpy where it would optionally take the result of an [xml]
tagged method/function and run it through an XML parser to check syntax
and maybe even semantics against a specified DTD/schema (XHTML). If
this
were enabled and parsing/validation fails, then an Exception would be
thrown on return from the method/function.
Probably Qpy would not want to "grow" into being more domain-specific.
It would be interesting though to be able to specialize usage easily,
e.g. like
you suggest with decorators, but such extensions should be totally
separate
from core qpy (distinct module).
Considerations:
Validation against a schema may only be done on a full document?
Only well-formedness could be checked on each template?
Such checks should be toggle-able, i.e. turned off in deployment. Can
that easily be done using decorators?
My motivation for this is that it can be difficult to get an online
validator to validate offline and secure websites. This could also be
useful when using qp to implement REST web services.
Ah, but it may be easier in that case to just not use XML... ;-)
I suppose I could implement this with a decorator of my own but it
seems
an interesting feature during development.
