Summary: expat should check XML version attribute

Initial Comment:
In the XML spec it says that the parser may throw a 
parser error if the version is not "1.0" in the XML 
declaration. This is also what IE6 does.

Here's a patch for this. It was diffed against mozilla.org's 
expat version, but I hope it can still be applied.

Thanks,  -Håkan

The patch didn't work for me, but I applied it manually
against my copy of the current CVS (xmltok.c 1.20) 
- with small cosmetic changes.

Attached as xmltok.diff.

I am in favour of it. Let's see what the others say.

Yes, I have read the spec too.
I also read about the XML 1.1 spec making it a requirement.

I am just putting it up for discussion.
Why don't you post to the expat-discuss list?
