[webkit-dev] Is the New XMLParser dead?

[Steve Williams]

No idea what this is about as I haven't studied your tree yet but here's 
a couple of XML enhancements I'd like to see accepted by the mainstream 
(including the webkit parser)

1. default element close.

syntax:  <myelement>
                    [stuff]
                </>

currently you have to do :

<myelement>
                    [stuff]
</myelement>

which is overly verbose.


2. drop the requirement for quotes on attributes where the value doesn't 
contain whitespace.

So   <myelement thing=5/>

rather than the bloaty  <myelement thing="5"/>

Yeah I know those aren't in the current XML spec. Just sayin'.
