From what I can see it isn’t clear that anyone is working on fixing the situation with PHP and libxml2.

And who is working on it? Wordpress? or other developers?

For parsing XML-RPC regex’s probably wouldn’t be to bad. For XML in general? That would probably be one monster of a regex.

And people say you shouldn’t use regex for these things. ;)

That may be the case that PHP is using a gross hack, but that doesn’t change the fact that libxml2 2.6.30 works fine and libxml2 2.7.1 doesn’t, with the exact same version of PHP. Sounds like you didn’t read the rest of my post, where I clearly stated that the bottom line was to make PHP XML parsing working correctly. I don’t have an interest in “being snippy”, simply getting things working again.

At this point the problem is only going to get worse as more hosts update libxml2 we’ll see more and more people complain that XML-RPC in WordPress is suddenly broken.

I suspect you could contact each state to find out who they are sending to the Electoral College.

As for Obama’s qualifications to serve, the Constitution only has a few requirements, in which he appears to meet all of theme. It seems unlikely (although certainly not impossible) that a major political party would allow, support and endorse a candidate that didn’t meet those requirements.

While I haven’t delved too deeply it seems like both libxml and php camps admit it was cause php’s code was a hack that finally caught up with them. So to me it seems like they should probably be the ones to either update their code to handle that libxml is exhibiting more proper behavior and isn’t so easy to fool into acting like expat, or providing a patch that can enable a compatible mode. Though either way it would be nice to see a fix, it’s been a known issue for way too long.

I have some sites on Joyent, switching the php version from 5 to 4 worked to keep this vital feature working in the meantime.
