Thank - I've applied the editorial comments, but I have a question about: On 11/27/2013 03:59 PM, John Cowan wrote:

My reading of the XML specification is this is for the sake of SGML compatibility, which no-one cares about any more ... Note SRFI-107 is not a specification of XML documents or XML parsers. It is an *XML-like* syntax for embedding in S-expressions. As such, why should an "SRFI-107 processor" enforce an arbitrary constraint that ">" must be escaped when following "]]" when not in a CDATA section? That's just a pointless extra rule. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/
