Per Bothner scripsit (reordered):Still mulling how to handle "]]>". Perhaps a warning is a reasonable compromise. In the SRFI, perhaps we could add: The XML and HTML standards (up through HTML 4.x) do not allow the literal text "]]> in element content - instead it should be escaped as in "]]>". This is for historical reasons of SGML-compatibility. An implementation SHOULD warn if literal "]]>" is seen.Strengthen this to "MUST warn" and I can live with it, though I would still prefer to make it an error.
I don't think it is possible to require warnings in a Scheme specification. Consider a program calling read then eval. There is no place for warnings to be displayed. -- --Per Bothner per@xxxxxxxxxxx http://per.bothner.com/
