Hi folks,I was wondering if you would accept the attached small patch for libxml2 into the main distribution. This will probably influence if we will use it (the patch, not libxml) ourselves in our current project.
What it does is it causes the HTML output dump code to convert boolean HTML attributes like <option selected="selected"> to their minimized form, like <option selected>. This is recommended practice as per the XSLT 1.0 spec in section 16.2, "HTML Output Method":
"The html output method should output boolean attributes (that is attributes with only a single allowed value that is equal to the name of the attribute) in minimized form."We are experiencing trouble with some Mozilla browsers because the HTML output generated by libxslt/libxml2 does not do this by default. The patch fixes it but we want to make sure that we will not have to maintain a separate patch for libxml, so it would be nice to hear from you if you would integrate it.
