@anthrotype Oh, I understand. To answer your first question, yes. Just w/o lxml you can't explicitly force a `CDATA` as I'm doing in https://github.com/MFEK/sfdLib.py/pull/16/commits/8e82ff2e2527889e78794c03a60772d2912244f4 (MFEK/sfdLib.py#16). Norad can handle it, I...

Flexibility and consistency are different (not necessarily mutually exclusive) goals.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but as I've written over on the Norad bugtracker, it really doesn't matter what the spec intended…it's been long enough that `` has...

I think they're the same.
