Problem:
the isXML() function returns false if there is a ">" character in an XML attribute. Note that the XML standard does not require these characters to be escaped inside of attributes. As proof of this, xmlParse() and xmlSearch() work when a ">" character is inside the XML.
Method:
<cfset xmlString = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><root attr='this > is valid!'/>"><cfoutput>#isXML(xmlString)#</cfoutput><cfdump var="#xmlParse(xmlString)#">
Result:
isXML returns false if there is a ">" character in an XML attribute.
