2208,many .xml files for the User's Manual force xml-mode in emacs,SamB,,"Many (all?) of the XML files for the User's Manual contain the following or similar:

{{{
#!xml
<!-- Emacs stuff:
     ;;; Local Variables: ***
     ;;; mode: xml ***
     ;;; sgml-parent-document: (""users_guide.xml"" ""book"" ""chapter"" ""sect1"") ***
     ;;; End: ***
 -->
}}}

The ""mode:"" line, in particular (assuming the user hasn't disabled the feature) overrides the user's choice of mode for XML editing (when the filename ends in .xml or another common XML suffix, anyway). Since I use {{{nxml-mode}}}, not {{{xml-mode}}}, this bothers me.

A quick grep turns up:
{{{
cd /home/naesten/hacking/haskell/ghc-hashedrepo/docs/users_guide/

Of these, probably only the one in {{{ug-book.xml.in}}} is actually useful, since that file doesn't have a name ending in .xml.",bug,closed,low,7.0.1,Documentation,6.9,fixed,emacs,,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,None/Unknown,Unknown,,,,
