Re: Barracuda: Localize problem with long text

Hello Andras,

One way might be to normalize the DOM before comparing the strings.
This should get rid of any unnecessary white space.  However, I don't
know if this is appropriate with an HTML DOM.  It is usually just fine
with an XML DOM.  This is just conjecture, though.  I'd have to look
at the exact issues involved.

Anyone else have ideas?

BTW, check out the info on this Java preprocessor:
http://virtualschool.edu/java+/

It does automatic localization and keys everything on hashes.  Well,
that among a number of other things.  I wonder if we could use
something like this along with the Barracuda framework or in XMLC?
