It was a while ago. I can't find what I was remembering - it may have gone
away when my computer died, and not made it over to the new one. Here is
one fix I made (4Suite 0.11, I think), in xslt\StylesheetReader.py - nothing
to do with the subject of this thread, though:
# Replaced
#if prefix == '#default': prefix = ''
# with
# if prefix == '#default': prefix = None
This was after we changed from '' to None for a null prefix, and I had some
document fail because of it.
I also found a change I made to xml\dom\Document.py in this area (version
0.7) (of coures, this is not 4Suite):
In ### DOM Level 2 Methods ###
def createAttributeNS(self, namespaceURI, qualifiedName):
#...
# if prefix == 'xml' and namespaceURI != XML_NAMESPACE:
if prefix == 'xml' and not namespaceURI in (None, XML_NAMESPACE):
raise NamespaceErr()
if prefix=='xml' and not namespaceURI: ##Added by tbp 2-23-02
namespaceURI=XML_NAMESPACE
if localName == 'xmlns':
# if namespaceURI != XMLNS_NAMESPACE:
if not namespaceURI in (None,XMLNS_NAMESPACE):
Again, this was triggered by a failure to process a document that other
processors handled. As you can see, I coerced the xml namespace to be the
predefined value if it had not been supplied (the same for the namespace
uri).
I don't remember if I sent this in or not.
Cheers,
