Attachment: patch to js/tests/e4x/TypeConversion/10.2.1.js

Checking in 10.2.1.js;
/cvsroot/mozilla/js/tests/e4x/TypeConversion/10.2.1.js,v  <--  10.2.1.js

done

This bug is about the failure of section 5 of this test which tests text
containing spaces, \t, \r, \n when XML.prettyPrinting=false. We strip the \r
although 10.2.1 Step 4.b.i calls 10.2.1.1 EscapeElementValue ( s ) which should
just copy the whitespace.

Oops, right you are -- the JS scanner actually strips the \r when canonicalizing
raw user lines into buffered scanner lines.

section 10,11's serialization has changed on 1.8.1, 1.9.0. updating test to reflect equivalent serialization.
/cvsroot/mozilla/js/tests/e4x/TypeConversion/10.2.1.js,v  <--  10.2.1.js
new revision: 1.6; previous revision: 1.5

section 5 still fails.
