Summary

0000050: XML Parser has a limitation on tag sizes.

Description

The XML Parser limits the tag string (including attributes), to MAX_STRING_LENGTH (2048 characters). This causes some XML parsing failures where
it should not, such as when parsing an xml file which has an attribute that has over MAX_STRING_LENGTH characters. (See attached xmltest.xml).

Notes
(0000396) carl (administrator) 2009-03-25 01:05	The problem is caused by the implmentation that uses internally an UCS4String type that limits its size. We should use poucs4char instead for the data so as to avoid this limit.

(0000397) carl (administrator) 2009-03-31 21:32	Fixed by creating a string value that contain up to 64K of attribute data, which should be sufficient for 95%+ of XML files out there.
