Consider the following simplified XML example:
================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml:stylesheet href="Subject.css" type="text/css"?>
<Subject>
</Subject>
================
When I run this through Xerces-C 1.4 stable SAX2XMLReader, with namespace
handling enabled, I get the following error:
Colons are not allowed in this name when namespaces are enabled#126
It's complaining about the Processing Instruction target, xml:stylesheet.
The relevant code is in XMLScanner.cpp, in scanPI:
// If namespaces are enabled, then no colons allowed
if (fDoNamespaces)
{
if (XMLString::indexOf(namePtr, chColon) != -1)
emitError(XMLErrs::ColonNotLegalWithNS);
}
Can someone cite the XML or Namespace spec section which indicates that
colons are not allowed in Processing Instruction target names? I'm really
surprised by this.
I noticed that the latest xml-stylesheet spec
<http://www.w3.org/1999/06/REC-xml-stylesheet-19990629/>, uses
<?xml-stylesheet ... ?>, so the customer producing this XML is not
conforming to that spec. I'm guessing that xml:stylesheet might have been
in an older spec, but was changed to conform to the XML or Namespace section
I'm seeking above. But that's all just my speculation.
Thanks,
Perry
