Invalid TagExample 2.3: List of cross references separated with comma

Open meretp opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I discovered the following line in the example file for tag-value:

LicenseCrossReference: http://people.apache.org/~andyc/neko/LICENSE, http://justasample.url.com

From my understanding of the spec and also the analogous example file in rdf where the references have two individual tags, I think this should be changed to:

LicenseCrossReference: http://people.apache.org/~andyc/neko/LICENSE LicenseCrossReference: http://justasample.url.com

Please let me know if I am correct, I'll be happty to open a PR to fix this.

@swinslow - I recall a similar issue with a difference between how the Golang tools and Java tools handled multiple list items in tag/value - do you recall the details issue and how it was resolved?

In 3.0+ we will have a significantly different tag/value representation. Closing this issue as no longer relavent.
