653778 - View source doesn't highlight DTD subset correctly

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[WGH]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

I've been messing with XHTML files, and tried to declare additional entities. It worked, but when I opened "view source", it was highlighted incorrectly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open page, which contains complex DTD, with internal subset (example page has been attached)
2. Open "View Page Source" window

Actual Results:  
Entire DTD in the window is red, as if it was incorrect.

Expected Results:  
I expected correct highlight, and I'm sure that page is correct. It uses valid XML features, and passes W3C validator, and XML parsers like expat.

While the value of covering this edge case is IMHO questionable, may it considered in bug 650895?

There's a long road from where we are with bug 650895 to fix this bug. Can't make any promises yet. :)
