How would making it better-formed break backward compatibility, in practice? We can be liberal in what we accept, conservative in what we output. Any patches to improve our output are always welcome - I know we're far from perfect in the content we output sometimes but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be. BTW Movable Type has a well-working WXR importer (or so they claim) so obviously it isn't impossible to make something else work from it. -- Matt Mullenweg http://ma.tt | http://automattic.com
