Summary: xml feature doesn't work

Initial Comment:
Visit http://parrakeet.joeysmith.com and click on the 
XML link. The XML which is generated is invalid.

<p><s2>stuff here</p></s2>

Those tags must not interleave for valid XML.

My proposal is to change the XML export vocabulary from the
currently used Stylebook (the very limited simplified
DocBook dialect of the ASF) to real, full DocBook. 

This has several advantages, such as the possibility of
nested <section> elements instead of numbered
sections, the ability to include the resulting documents
easily into larger sets of documentation and the mere number
of possible output formats for DocBook instead of the HTML
only option for stylebook - to name only a few.

Since the DocBook community itself also runs a MoinMoin
Wiki, it would even be possible to get Wiki pages as an
output format from DocBook documents (that means, someone
possibly writes the necessary XSL stylesheets) and achieve a
real roundtrip by this means.

Jürgen knows of this proposal and it may already has been
written down somewhere. I just wanted to make sure everybody
has heard of it.

Regards,
Gisbert

1.2.1 did close the bug I found. As you're already aware
that you need a new XML parser, I see no reason to leave
keep bug. Thanks for a great wiki, either way. :)

This issue has maybe improved in 1.2.1 (but there is another
bug in there with footnotes). So maybe check 1.2.2 as soon
as it is released.

A complete fix for that problem is not to be expected before
we switch to a different parser. Same thing as for
generating completely valid xhtml.

Please re-submit if there are still problems after that
"version with a new parser".

Having someone else report this as a problem lead me to
investigate a bit deeper (BTW, twerschlein: sf.net didn't
escape your HTML, so it's difficult to see your report).

I can see now why this bug is still open.

Given the stream:
<p><h1>foo</h1></p>

moinmoin is trying to generate the following XML stream:
<s1><p>foo</p></s1>

The problem is that by the time the XML formatter knows that
it needs to print <s1>, <p> has already been
printed. So it seems that, in order to fix this, one of
three things will have to be done:

1) All of the XML Formatter functions will need to share a
common "stack", and <s1> cannot be printed until
<s2> is known/encountered.

2) Use the DOM rather than printing the XML as a stream

3) Find someway to rewind the stream when <s##> is
encountered.

[Sorry for not escaping the tags the first time]

I notice the same problem, but within this context:
<s1><p><anchor/><s2></p><p>stuff
here</p></s2></s1>
