There is no easy way to report a bug to Oracle. They require you to
write in Java a self-contained program allowing to reproduce the bug.
If you don't do that, your bug report will be rejected.
:-(
May be you have easy access? (Hint …)
No, not at all. Reporting a Java bug to Oracle is a lot of work and I
confess that we tend to "forget" reporting Java bugs to Oracle.
Understand. However, since the bug already exists, in a product they
have released, might it not be possible to submit some existing code?
[ ... snip ...]
I think that the purpose of the reference to XML’s document
production
is twofold:
Firstly, it clarifies that a srcdoc document does NOT have to be a
XHTML
document. [... snip ...]
Secondly, the reference to the XML document production means that
elements must be well-formed, [... snip ...]
After reading all this, we'll almost certainly change our
implementation to stop checking the value of attribute @srcdoc. I
mean, you'll be able to type anything you want as the value of
@srcdoc.
Per what the spec says, XML document production is an extra requirement
when @srcdoc occurs in an XML document.
This should be well sufficient for a program like XMLmind XML Editor
which don't claim to be an (X)HTML validator.
Validation seems off the mark: XXe is an XML editor, and thus able to
check for well-formedness. And, in reality, well-formedness seems to be
what the spec requires. Though it must be meant some kind of "a
posteriory well-formedness".
This change will probably not happen before we officially support
(X)HTML 5.1. (For now, we don't support (X)HTML 5.1, just (X)HTML
5.0.)
XXe currently breaks HTML 5.0 and HTML 5.1 equally much: HTML 5.1 adds a
code example which I could not find in HTML 5.0. However, being an
example, it doesn’t impact the implementation requirements. Thus you
cannot really justify postponing to deal with this issue by pointing to
lack of support for HTML 5.1. ;-)
Question: What do you think about the XML document production
requirement? Does it make sense? I ask because I am considering filing a
bug report against the HTML specification. Can you think of any current
XML parser where it makes sense? Thanks.
