No, Stefan.
What I was saying in my last message was just "you're right, the user shall
always use repr() when printing an xml tree" (msg196313) because "xml does
*not* guarantee to have only printable chars by itself" (msg196368, msg196379).
As an advice I hope you do not take as insult, saying
"in section {section} the spec says {argument}"
is much more constructive than
"read the spec on that", "{extremely_obvious_link}",
at least to people not familiar with the spec and asking for the source of your
arguments (msg196360). Can shorten threads, too.
