[sword-devel] We need XML parser

[David Burry]

The order of attributes is not significant in XML, so your examples should 
be equivalent.  Regardless things shouldn't ever crash even if it did get 
unacceptable data, it should display or log or return an error message and 
go on or quit, which ever makes sense for the situation.  If you want to 
parse XML, best is to use an XML parser library... such as expat or xerxes 
or some other one.
