<s3 title="Open bugs and bug reporting">
<p>Open bugs:</p>
<ul>
-<li>Text nodes with entity references are not handled correctly by the Document Table Model (<link idref="dtm">DTM</link>). An entity reference in a text node causes the node to be split at that entity. A problem was also reported with the contains() function; contains(String, entity) was returning false when it should return true. <em>Workaround:</em> instantiate the XSLTProcessor as follows so it uses the <resource-ref idref="XercesLiaisonDoc"/> and the Xerces DOM parser:<br/>
-<code>org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessor xsltProc =</code><br/> <code>org.apache.xalan.xslt.XSLTProcessorFactory.getProcessor(</code><br/>
-<code> new org.apache.xalan.xpath.xdom.XercesLiaison());</code><br/>
-If you are running org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process from the command line, include<br/>
-<code>-parser org.apache.xalan.xpath.xdom.XercesLiaison</code><br/>
-on the command line.<br/><br/></li>
<li>When format-number() should format NaN or infinity, it generates the wrong string if default strings are used. Workaround: declare the strings in an xsl:decimal-format instruction at the top of the stylesheet.<br/><br/></li>
<li>A "not serializable exception" occurs when you attempt to run a precompiled stylesheet that expects parameter values to be passed in. If you encounter this problem, you should forego the use of precompiled stylesheets until a fix is available.<br/><br/></li>
<li>The namespace::* axis only selects namespaces that were declared locally on the context node. Inherited namespaces are in effect; the only known flaw is the lack of their presence on this rarely-used axis. The name() function, when applied to a namespace node, returns a string that disagrees with other processors, and the XPath spec is vague on this point.<br/><br/></li>
@@ -19,7 +13,6 @@
<li>If you specify HTML output and encoding via xsl:output, and if a <HEAD> element is generated, then the encoding should be represented in a <META> tag inside the <HEAD> element. We do not put out the META tag nor any representation of the encoding in this case.<br/><br/></li>
<li>If you are generating processing instructions (PIs) in XML output, and you attempt to insert a literal "?>" in it, the spec says that "? >" should be generated, inserting a space to prevent interpretation as the end of the PI. We do not take this special step, so "?>" is generated.<br/><br/></li>
<li>When outputting URI attributes in HTML, almost all "control" characters below decimal 32 will cause an error to be raised, rather than silently being discarded. Most characters above decimal 127 will be output as that character. Percent should be output as %25 at all times (it is currently output as a literal percent); this will be fixed later.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>UTF-8 output is improperly escaped in the 128-255 range.<br/><br/></li>
<li>In a multithreaded environment, some threads may lose track of xsl:key elements.<br/><br/></li>
<li>Need to verify which HTML element attributes should be treated as URIs.<br/><br/></li>

<ul>
-<li>Patch submitted by Sergei S. Ivanov: Fixed XNumber.java so that the string function does not apply the current locale setting when formatting numbers. In other words, the locale setting will not override the format applied in the string function.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patch submitted by Bernd Köcke: Fixed FormatterToDOM.java and StylesheetRoot.java so can transform a DOM beginning with an Element-node or DocumentFragment-Node.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patch to SimpleNodeLocator.java submitted by Gary Peskin: Fixes the problem with complex XPath expressions including steps after a union that were raising an access error and not returning the correct node-set.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patch to XMLParserLiaisonDefault.java submitted by Bernd Köcke: Changed ProblemListener variable to non-static, so users working in a multithreaded environment can can log errors from multiple ProblemListeners.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patch to FuncFormatNumb submitted by Dimitry Voytenko: Supplied missing curly braces in an else clause.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patch to XPath.java submitted by Naohiko Uramoto: Increased MAXTOKENQUEUSIZE from 500 to 2000 to support longer XPath expressions.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Patches to XObject.java, XBoolean.java, XNodeSet.java, XNull.java, XNumber.java, XtreeFrag.java, and XString.java submitted by Gary L. Peskin: GetTypeString() method changed from private to protected, so that it returns an appropriate message for each node type.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>Some updates to XNumber to attempt to address formatting issues with jview.<br/><br/></li>
-<li>We have not included other patches that we consider too risky or that we think should be addressed in the scope of Xalan-Java version 2.0.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>The Xalan DTM (Document Table Model) was splitting text nodes containing entity references into multiple nodes. We have fixed this problem, and Xalan now it produces a single text node for output.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>Norm Walsh submitted patches enabling Xalan to accept URI substitutions set by a custom EntityResolver.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>Gary Peskin submitted a patch enabling Xalan to process expressions with path steps following a union. As a result, Xalan can now transform documents of the DocBook document type.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>We believe we have fixed encoding problems handling characters above 127 in URI attributes. We are still soliciting input on how to handle special URI characters between 32 and 127.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>The use of position() in sort expressions now works as expected, which makes it easy to reverse node order. When the primary sort fails completely, we no longer fall through to a sort with the secondary key.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>Sergei Ivanov submitted a patch to avoid including a minus sign an ID in the rare case when a negative number was appearing in the ID.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>We believe we have fixed XPath retrieval of attributes qualified with a namespace prefix. Other namespace fixes enable the name() and namespace-uri() functions to be applied to namespace nodes.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>Ed Staub submitted a patch so that a message about processing instruction names now appears as a warning rather than an error.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>A thread-safety issue in pattern matching was identified and fixed.<br/><br/></li>
+<li>The output of very small decimal fractions has been improved.</li>
