The NN JSP helper is chucking out HTML from some of its methods, not well-formed XML. There's a risk that the content pushed out here is not valid XML.

# the tests that have been left out need to take the XML and try and parse it. This isn't that hard, you could do it in Ant using <get> then <xmlvalidate>, ideally against a schema that comes with the patch.
# All content that goes out as XML has to be passed through XMLenc. I actually think this is a good opportunity to knock up a successor to xmlenc, one that is namespace aware, and so can be used to push XHTML in the right namespace.

> In HADOOP-4559, a general REST API for reporting metrics was proposed but work seems to have stalled. In the interim, we have a simple XML translation of the existing NameNode status page which provides the same metrics as the human-readable page. This is a relatively lightweight addition to provide some machine-understandable metrics reporting.
