I noticed, while attempting to summarize bug #429768:

    % grep "error :" tvvf.log | sed -e 's/^.*error ://' -e 's/line.*$//' | sort | uniq -c
      19231  Couldn't find end of Start Tag episode-num
        535  Couldn't find end of Start Tag length
      19766  attributes construct error
      19766  error parsing attribute name

...that leading word "Couldn't" is capitalized, and "attributes" and
"error" aren't.  I don't know whether they all should be capitalized or
lower case, but a mix of both styles seems wrong.  And is there any
consensus on whether an error message should end in a period?

Hope this helps...

reassign 431136 libxml-libxml-perl
thanks

These error messages are not actually produced by the XMLTV modules. The
XML file is passed straight to the parser from XML::LibXML module, which
is where these error messages are produced. Therefore I'm reassigning
this bug to that package.

reassign 431136 libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-1
thanks

... which gets them from libxml2. Reassigning again; I just verified
that these messages are found in the libxml2 sources.

Cheers,

Will it break some programs which has hard code these warnings?
I prefer we don't change it although they may be ugly.
