Perhaps this is a poor question, but there's a bug filed against Expat that I'd like to be able to deal with in the right way. A user managed to insert some U+0000 characters in their data as NUL bytes, and has found that the MS parser interprets them as whitespace, and Expat doesn't. I'd like to determine what the right thing to do would be from the perspective that strict conformance is the right thing. Looking at XML 1.0 (2e), section 2.2 ("Characters"), at the "Char" production, I'm led to believe that U+0000 is not a legal XML character. The comment attached to that production makes things less clear (at least to me), in that it seems to imply that all by the surrogates, U+FFFE, and U+FFFF are legal. So, should U+0000 be interpreted as whitespace, non-whitespace, or an error? (References to something I've missed would be quite welcome!) Thanks! -Fred -- Fred L.
