I saw an entity error in draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis-08. I then ran an
entity checking script on the internet-drafts and extensions (the XML
files in subversion repository), and here is what I found (format:
file line_number offending_string):
Entity errors resulting in malformed XML:
internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-rfc3920bis-09.xml 6035 <l;
internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis-08.xml 1289 ≫
internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-xmpp-feature-set-00.xml 287 > or <
Entity/etc errors within examples (inside CDATA sections):
internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis-08.xml 1626 ím!
internet-drafts/draft-saintandre-rfc3921bis-08.xml 1652 ím!
extensions/xep-0235.xml 176 &travelbot%40findmenow.tld%2Fbot%26feeds.worldgps.tld&\
(the CDATA section for the last one has most instances of '&'
encoded as '%26', but these 2 are not)
extensions/xep-0204.xml 465 &jep0030;
(that's within a comment, but the whole comment should be replaced
with &xep0030;)
I'm curious about why the XSL processor used to convert the XML to
HTML doesn't break on the malformed XML.
