(RADIATOR) Empty string attribute ... and some extra VSAs

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Jose -

Thanks for pointing this out - the change was made to stop warnings  
about empty attributes.

Mike and I will discuss and let you know the outcome.

BTW - there was no attachment included in your email.

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
