[JDEV] Flash 5's XMLSocket vs Jabber 1.2

[Bill Abbas]

I haven't looked at how jabber parses XML, but ...

If the problem is the terminating null, is a switch really necessary?   
Shouldn't the behavior of the jabber XML stream parser be to throw away 
any extraneous garbage that occurs outside of tags?  So if I sent a data 
like this:

<tag>
   meaningful stuff
</tag>
random garbage

the random garbage would get discarded because it has no meaningful XML 
context. 

Which is another way of saying that it shouldn't dump core, it should 
just discard it and move on.
