---------------------------------------


Simon is preparing another patch as he has found some issues with the implementation. I am waiting for this to be attached.

> ReducedHTMLParser (used by AddResource class) currently fails to handle the string "//-->".
> I found that my script references were getting inserted right into the
> middle of the body of my html page. After inserting some debug code, I
> have found that
>    closedStartTag
> is being called every time that "//-->" is encountered in the page. And
> that's a lot, as that sequence is generated whenever an inline script is
> inserted into the page.
> This problem breaks every page containing a component that inserts
> javascript into the page header (jscookmenu, HtmlTree, etc).
> I've had a look at the code, and while the current implementation is very small I think it's quite hard to read/debug/maintain and may not handle a number of cases (such as the one described here). 
> Attached is a proposed alternative implementation of this class. The code is larger but is hopefully easier to read. And also attached is a unit test case class which the current implementation lacks. This class isn't *quite* finished; the unit tests indicate there are a few off-by-one errors but that's just a matter of tweaking. I hope that this may form the basis of a replacement for the current ReducedHTMLParser.
> The implementation is a hybrid state-machine/adhoc parser. 
> Regards,
> Simon
