boolean en-/decoding

Hello,

the apache xmlrpc library accepts only "0" and "1" as correct
boolean values while "true" and "false" are both interpreted
as false value.
Other libraries evaluate the strings "true" and "false" to
the booleans true and false.

Are "true" and "false" correct boolean values or not?

Michael

The spec is here http://www.xml-rpc.com/spec

It says that the values allowed are 0 and 1, "true" and "false" are 
invalid values.
