Hi! There are two annoying bugs that make the XML mode unusable for many tasks: - <http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1101> (i18n namespace broken) - <http://collector.zope.org/Zope/1474> (XML files opened in binary mode) I would volunteer to work on these issues, but for that it would be useful to know: 1.) Does anybody feel responsible for the TAL or PageTemplates module? 2.) What was the motivation for the original code? #1101 looks like someone just forgot to remove a debug assert in TALParser.py. The Zope3 version doesn't have that assert statement. Or was there a reason to disable i18n for XML mode? #1474 is a change backported from Zope3. It was reverted for HTML mode for apparently the same reason why the XML mode is still broken. I guess the motivation was to preserve CDATA, but I don't know that for sure. Thanks, Yuppie
