[BUG?] Namespace binding bug OS X

[Jason Lane <ja...@root10.net>]

This issue also references the following post

[Namespace problem on form binding ].

We have a site that was tested and found to be working on Windows XP 
and Solaris 5.7 both using Cocoon 2.1.5. Upon transfer to the live 
server environment, OS X Server 10.3.5 using Cocoon 2.1.5 it was found 
that namespace binding errors were being generated for parts of the 
site. After investigation we have found that the following code 
containing "self closing" tags seems to  generates an error on OS X 
whilst not on the above mentioned platforms.

<abcml:root>
	<abcml:group>
		 < abcml:name>TEST NAME</abcml:name>
      		 < abcml:email>email@email dot com</abcml:email>
     		 < abcml:website/>
	</abcml:group>
</abcml:root>

Whilst

<abcml:root>
	<abcml:group>
		 < abcml:name>TEST NAME</abcml:name>
      		 < abcml:email>email@email dot com</abcml:email>
     		 < abcml:website> </ abcml:website>
	</abcml:group>
</abcml:root>

Generates no namespace binding errors on OS X.

Is this a bug? Or is this a feature that needs to be activated within 
the server environment? If this is a bug is this only specific to OS X?

Many thanks all.
