Downloading IE5.5 and running against the Chinese test suite at
http://www.ascc.net/xml/test/en/utf-8/index.html
I see it still is broken: the tests in the second table "Well-formed
XML,
Stylesheet, no DOCTYPE declaration, no namespace" are the ones affected
when I tried it today (Chinese Win98).
When using a CSS stylesheet with XML, it still converts <?xxx?>
to a PI which it then strips out.
IE 5.5 gets Big5 and GB2312 and UTF-8 handling correctly still. (On that
issue, I need to make some test up to handle switching between Big5 and
UTF-8 files at the same site.)
This is a problem that MS has known for more than a year: I had an email
with one of their engineers. It is slack to get delimiting wrong, and
slacker to do it as a matter of policy.
Come on Microsoft, get it right. The message we get is not "oh we are
looking after the problems that customers report rather than niceties"
(which no-one believes) but "we do not have a craftsmanlike attitude to
making our products correct".
If my data has <? in it, I don't want it to disappear from view.
