-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [From Jason Scherer on docs@python.org] On this page: http://docs.python.org/2/library/xml.html The table of truth values is a bit confusing because it's not clear from the context what it's actually saying is true, or false. It might be better to replace the words "true" and "false" with "vulnerable" and "protected" or something like that. Otherwise, I can't tell if "true" means "yes, this parser is vulnerable to this attack" or if "true" means "yes, this parser is protected from this attack" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.21 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlJRQ0IACgkQN9GcIYhpnLCziACeO3MzVKKcH8RLlU+w11hAy9Kh wo4AnRYvAXuCCLdlrED2SHJ0oexW1vj0 =dxxa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

I agree that this could be improved. It took a few readings to convince myself that True == Vulnerable. (Assuming that this is correct ;-) the table needs a title like Vulernable or a lead in sentence: "The following table indicates which modules are susceptible to which attacks." Since True and False are names of Python objects, I would also prefer Yes and No or X and <blank> or '-'. |
