problem with Crimson parser ('%' sign in attribute default)

Hello all,


I have a problem when trying to read XML files with the Crimson 1.1 
parser. The Crimson page refers me to this list.

The problem appears to be a '%' character in an attribute default value. 
The relevant DTD fragment looks like this: 

<!ATTLIST nspace:element nspace:attribute CDATA "100%">

As I understand the XML spec, this should be OK, and in fact several 
parsers I have tried work fine with this. However, if I try to process 
files that refer this DTD with Crimson, the parser aborts with an error 
message pointing to the line above.

Can someone confirm whether this is a Crimson bug, or is it rather a 
problem in the DTD itself?


Thanks,
Daniel Vogelheim

This bug was fixed recently.  If you check out the code from CVS, you
will get the fix.  I am about to create a new crimson distribution,
also.
