Package: libxml2
Version: 2.6.32.dfsg-5
Severity: normal
When validating a file with Relax NG, libxml2 doesn't accept some special
characters (e.g. the space and non-ASCII characters) in anyURI data, though
the specs allow them. Indeed http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#anyURI says:
--------
3.2.17.1 Lexical representation
The ·lexical space· of anyURI is finite-length character sequences which,
when the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language] is
applied to them, result in strings which are legal URIs according to
[RFC 2396], as amended by [RFC 2732].
Note: Spaces are, in principle, allowed in the ·lexical space· of
anyURI, however, their use is highly discouraged (unless they are
encoded by %20).
--------
The goal of the algorithm defined in Section 5.4 of [XML Linking Language]
is precisely to encode/escape these disallowed characters in order to form
a valid URI.
Well, there are some restrictions (RFC 2396 / RFC 2732). For instance,
a space must not appear in the scheme part.
Note that nXML mode for Emacs seems to be correct.
