xml-rpc spec vs frontier?

Question: when there is a difference between the XML-RPC spec and the way Frontier does it.. who wins? Normally, I'd go with a spec anyday, but since Frontier is the benchmark in this case, I'm not sure.F'rinstance, send this to betty.userland.com:
examples.getStateName 12 (note that the case is wrong for the closing methodCall tag)
betty responds thusly:
(lots of fault stuff)
faultString Poorly formed XML text,we were expecting a tag. (At character #139.) Ooooops! The faultString contains . According to the spec, that intial < should be encoded &lt; (also, my xml parser throws a tantrum when it encounters it).
Now who's right? Should my parser handle that better? Or is betty slipping up?
There are responses to this message:
