Lexware XML
-
Hi,
I was looking into a config directory of a Lexware program. They use Quickbooks internally. In this config directory I found an xml file.

It contains one line of gobbledygook but still is called fairuse.xml
So I guess not only MS ist not following standards...

Not an enormous WTF I guess, but still pretty strange. Besides the lack of XML, what the fuck is up with the contents, which just seem like they repeat every line?

I guess so :-)
The contents get a little mor randomized later on but still no xml to be seen.

You sure it isn't valid XML? Maybe it's possible due to a leak in the specification.

Happens to me all the time... but most of the times I'm quick enough to correct it =]

Probably a CDATA block where the cdata tags themselves were eliminated for being redundant. i.e. the whole xml dtd is "stuff the old binary into a cdata tag, and boom, you're xml-ified!"
