title: Objective Review of Windows!

<p>
I just found this comment in the <a href='http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=REXML'>REXML</a> documentation:
</p>

<blockquote>
Internet Explorer is the worst piece of crap to have ever been written,
with the possible exception of Windows itself. Since IE is unable to
parse proper XML, we have to provide a hack to generate XML that IE's
limited abilities can handle. This hack inserts a space before the /&gt; on
empty tags. Defaults to false
