Thank you for the clarification; it was needed. > What do existing implementations do with a string like "abc=de=="? It varies. Some keep reading until end-of-file, so they'll treat it as concatenated base64 encodings, joining them into one result. Some still stop after the first. > I think I'm hearing you say that yes, you think it's worthwhile > for XML Schema processors to check that the equal signs are where > they ought to be in correct data, and nowhere else (so that > "abc=de==" raises a type error right away). Yes. It should fail at the "same place" that "1g2" would fail as a value for xsd:decimal. /r$ -- Zolera Systems, Your Key to Online Integrity Securing Web services: XML, SOAP, Dig-sig, Encryption http://www.zolera.com
