Re: [xml-dev] should this be well-formed?

["bryan rasmussen" <rasmussen.bryan@gmail.com>]

I agree it's not well formed, but I'm not having a problem with it.
This one is, when processed by my application, performing fine.

The one that the application is having a problem is this one, which I
figure is well-formed:

== Info: Closing connection #0

so I took one that was an example of something working and thought:
why the hell is this thing working. it shouldn't be, it's got the
little extra character on top that should raise an error. Of course
that's a side issue since I still haven't figured out why the second
example isn't working, which is some sort of issue regarding proxy
server setup. Anyway, just wanted confirmed that what was working
shouldn't be, as I'm generally used to things that I think are
supposed to be working not doing so rather than the other way around
and the switch was somewhat of a bewildering experience.





Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
