Andre, please dive into this and come up with a concise statement and post it here.

Frontier's (Pike's) XML compiler doesn't decode '>' to '>'. As I understand the XML 1.0 spec, this is indeed a bug. We are free to encode '>' as '>' or not -- but we must decode '>' to '>'. This looks like a safe fix -- I don't see how it could break existing scripts.

In addition to the tags listed in the XML-RPC spec, Frontier currently accepts , , and tags as input. Of these, it only generates as output. I think Frontier should use in those cases were it's currently using . Since there may be Frontier scripts out there that rely on these additional tags, Frontier should continue to accept these additional tags as input though.

There are responses to this message:
