I haven't checked the status of the proposed tests. Indeed, the latest Recommendation appears to contain the relevant updates. It seems the list of changes and tests are out of date; looking at the sources in CVS, <xmlns:foo/> is covered by NE13c.xml <foo xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/'/> by NE13b.xml <foo xmlns='http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace'/> by NE13a.xml There is no test for any of these <xml:foo/> <?xml version="1.1"?><foo xmlns:xmlns=""/> <?xml version="1.1"?><foo xmlns:xml=""/> >Net conclusion: what you can do to help, which would be _very_ >welcome, is to join the XML Core WG and take over maintenance of the >Test Suite. I would offer to make a patch and commit it myself after someone has reviewed it, but I'm afraid the structure of the test suite is quite confusing. With some instructions, ala, make a new directory $name, put the files in there, make a $name.xml file per testcases.dtd, put it there aswell, and add $name.xml to xmlconf.xml, and ignore all the other files, that would help a lot. >Hmm.

This has been fixed now, thanks. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
