Iwao AVE! commented on STS-751:
-------------------------------
Thanks for the explanation.
Aside from the technical aspect, I understand the difficulty of forking OSS in
some projects.

I used the word 'occasional' because I thought it has a taste of 'temporal'
(another example of my poor English skill).
You would have seen many things (html dialects, doc types, css hacks, etc.)
come and go if you're working long enough as a web developer.
That's why I feel uneasy when a patch trying to absorb specific html dialect or
browsers' misbehavior is proposed against the framework core.
It is relatively easy to add a new option, but it's difficult (if possible) to
remove it afterwards, you know.
What if we have a way to override the behavior of original stripes tags by a
extension mechanism like the one Stripes already uses for other components.
This, of course, must be a bigger change than the one you are working on, but
would be a better/cleaner solution in a long run.
How do you think?
# I believe this was proposed by someone a while ago, but can't remember when
and where. STS-47 maybe?

Lastly, let me interpret my comment about Struts...
Based on the KISS principle, what I was trying to say is: 'any sensible
developers would choose Stripes for its simplicity (like we did)'.
I thought it was obvious enough, sorry.

> Key: STS-751
> URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-751
> Project: Stripes
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tag Library
> Affects Versions: Release 1.5
> Environment: No specific OS required; no specific Java version
> required; etc...
> Reporter: Nikolaos
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: stripes-xhtml-patch.tar.gz, stripes-xhtml-patches.tar.gz

> HTML and XHTML documents have some key differences.
> For example - if we consider the <input> tag:
> - In HTML, the <input> tag has no end tag e.g. <input name="website.url"
> type="text" size="30">
> - In XHTML, the <input> tag must be properly closed, like this <input />
> e.g. <input name="website.url" type="text" size="30" />
> Stripes 1.5.x however does not have a mechanism to discern whether or not to
> properly close tags or not and as such takes the safer approach which is to
> explicitly close tags as it results in valid XHTML and is not an error for
> HTML but results in a warning when validating HTML documents. Although the
> latter is not a critical issue it does result in needless or unnecessary
> complaints when validating and as such is an annoyance albeit minor.
> Struts since 1.x has solved this issue quite easily by allowing the inclusion
> of the xhtml="true" attribute to mark that closure is required (false
> indicates no closure). In this manner authors of XHTML and HTML documents
> are equally satisfied in not having any errors or extraneous warnings.
> Timothy Stone had reported this issue and classified it as a bug here:
> http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=11931#action_11931
> The issue was rightly closed as "Not a bug" as most of the discussion was
> based on a non-w3c validator which yielded results that considered the
> validation unsuccessful which is not the case with the w3c validator (not to
> mention that it is irrelevant whether or not XHTML is considered dead or we
> should align to HTML 5 - etc...).
> As such this issue report is a re-statement of the above closed issue
> reported as an improvement and setting the stage for patch to be attached.
