Well... yes and no.
You are almost right. But the paragraph you quoted says, in fact, that
apart from complying to "this" document, you have to comply also to the
current fiscal regulations and to the rules defined by the W3C.
In other words: "You have to do as I say and also as the other two guys
say". ha ha ha.
Either way. As long as I can tell, the specification encourages the
translation of single quotes to "& apos;" (with no space), in certain
circumstances.
<quote>
To allow attribute values to contain both single and double quotes, the
apostrophe or single-quote character (') may be represented as " & apos;
", and the double-quote character (") as " & quot; ".
</quote>
Reference:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#syntax
Based on this. If JAXB should comply to the W3C rules, it should be
possible to "translate" the single quote to "& apos;". Don't you think?
Thank you for all your help.
Ely.
