Re: nnrss-node-just-text: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 62

[Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka@jpl.org>]

Hello,

In the bugs@gnus.org list, I found a bug report which is
attached below.  I don't know which of xml.el and nnrss.el is
wrong, but I found a strange behavior of xml.el.

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "<rss><![CDATA[ding]]></rss>")
  (xml-parse-region (point-min) (point-max)))
 => ((rss nil "ding"))

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "<rss> <![CDATA[ding]]> </rss>")
  (xml-parse-region (point-min) (point-max)))
 => ((rss nil " " 32 103 110 105 100))

The latter case seems to have returned a mirrored string as
characters:

(concat '(32 103 110 105 100))
 => " gnid"

Is it the intended behavior?

The problem Andrew M. Scott reported is not the same but similar
to this.  The same behavior that xml-parse-region returns a
mirrored character sequence can be reproduced as follows:

cd /tmp
wget 'http://www.lockergnome.com/rss/news.php'

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert-file-contents "/tmp/news.php")
  (xml-parse-region (point-min) (point-max)))

Regards,
