No, precisely the opposite. Anything you get that's legal base64, whatever
the line length, is "legal" XML, and moreover is valid wi

Yep. Schema normalization does exactly that.

I am not sure if you are implying that normalization removes line breaks. AFAIK, normalization just 'joins' adjacent text nodes - not dealing with new lines in any way. (I am referring to the doc.normalize() call. Please let me know if you are talking about something else.) -ramsScott Cantor <[

Yeah. The bottom line is that anything that can't consume something with or
without breaks is non-compliant, so clearly OpenSSL is borderline because
the flag is not attractive

How new is the flag? I ask because it seemed to be a problem in so many
places for quite a while.
