Description

MinML is not an XML parser, It does not correctly implement the XML specification in a variety of ways. It should not be bundled and should not be used. Given that Java 1.4 now includes a much more conformant parser (and Java 1.5 includes an even better one) there's no excuse for distributing a non-conformant parser like MinML. XML-RPC is XML, and nothing less than a real XML parser can handle it correctly.
