intertwingly

After all these years, two separate Python runtime library bugs affected me in one day.  This one caused the Feed Validator to blow up, but now has a workaround.  Here’s a simple test case:

from xml.dom import minidom
minidom.parseString('<foo:bar xmlns:foo="http://example.com/\nboom"/>')

And in unrelated news, the SYO top100 planet saw it’s first non-wellformedness error this morning, from an unexpected direction.  Take a look at Chris Pirillo’s page... elements with both HREF and href attributes.  The UFP lowercased the attribute names and voilà... duplicate attributes.  This, too, has since been fixed.
