Has anyone else found it necessary to conditionalize the downcasing of attribute names, like what is currently done with regular tags?
Yes, you're not the only one - see the new 0.11.0 release.
Second question: the *downcase-tags-p* has to be set to nil at compile time.
Yep, this is by design. You can call it a feature in the sense of optimization, but you can also call it a design flaw as CL-WHO currently doesn't export functionality to compose output at runtime. This would require a major overhaul for which I don't have enough time at the moment.
I am hoping to find something less error-prone (and thread-unsafe) than this:
;; beginning of the file (eval-when (compile load eval) (setq *downcase-tags-p* nil)) ;;
...;; end of the file (eval-when (compile load eval) (setq *downcase-tags-p* t)) ;;
I'm not aware of a better solution. Maybe the ASDF experts have an idea how this could be done in a more elegant way, but that would be outside the ANSI standard.
Cheers, Edi.
