Changed 0x2190 to 0x218F (2.20 KB, patch)

Description nnissar 2004-04-16 10:28:03 UTC 
This concerns the validity of Core tests infoset07 and wellformed03
In these tests, a document is created with an attribute that contains the 
character ࢎ --> an invalid XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 character

<setAttribute obj="docElem" name='"LegalName&#2190;"' value='"foo"'/>

Comment 1 Curt Arnold 2004-05-07 17:40:48 UTC 
The intent was to pick a value that was a legal XML 1.1 name character but not a
legal XML 1.0 character.  For some unknown reason, I chose a character (x2190)
that was not legal for either.  I have changed the character to x218F which does
appear in the XML 1.1 name production.  The value is arbitrary, so if there is a
problem with that value, please suggest another.

Comment 3 Curt Arnold 2004-05-07 22:56:43 UTC 
Didn't get enough sleep last night, I misread &#2190; as &#x2190;. U+088E
(decimal 2190) should be a XML 1.1 name character but not a XML 1.0 name
character.  The test definition expresses this as 

<createAttribute var="attr" obj="doc" name='"LegalName&#2190;"'/>
  
and that should generate code equivalent to:

attr = doc.createAttribute("LegalName\u088E");

I'm reverting the changes (which didn't compile).  If you still believe there is
an error, you need to be painfully clear what you believe the problem is since I
don't see it.
