[cxml-devel] CDATA doesn't preserve whitespace

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1

Hi,

I've noticed the following in ACL7 on the attached document:

CL-USER(115): (cxml:parse-file "C:\graph.xml" (rune-dom:make-dom-builder)) #<RUNE-DOM::DOCUMENT @ #x212c5a82> CL-USER(116): (dom:map-document (cxml:make-namespace-normalizer (cxml:make-octet-stream-sink *standard-output*)) *) <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">&#10; <script type="text/css">&#10; &#10; &#10; &#10; </script>&#10;</svg> #<MULTIVALENT stream socket connected from localhost/3813 to localhost/3817 @ #x205003d2>

Now, it appears that this doesn't seem to be a problem for the javascript processor in firefox. It still seems to process lines and quotes and so on that have been thus escaped correctly. The XML 1.1 proposal in its description of CDATA states that the only markup that will be recognized by the XML processor is the CDATA end:

``Within a CDATA section, only the CDEnd string is recognized as markup, so that left angle brackets and ampersands may occur in their literal form; they need not (and cannot) be escaped using "&lt;" and "&amp;". CDATA sections cannot nest.''

Can cxml please correctly follow this requirement?

Thanks,

Sunil
