[XML-SIG] Expat & the "default" handler

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

There is a bug in the way Expat calls the callbacks set as
DefaultHandler and DefaultHandlerExpand -- line endings are not
normalized.

I don't think this is a major bug, but it does cause extra work if you
use the DefaultHandler or DefaultHandlerExpand callbacks.  If you only
use the SAX and DOM APIs, you don't need to worry about it.

Is there anyone who thinks there applications will break if this is
fixed?  It's been in Expat a long time, so I'm a little hesitant to
care about this one.  ;-)

The Expat bug report is here:
