& XSLT The recent XML::SAX release has a few issues which happen to be
highlighted by the XML::Simple test suite...

(See also: http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=15891 )

1. When a CDATA section is encountered, the closing '> ' ends up
   in the data for the next 'characters' event.

   The attached 40cdata.t tests this condition.

   The attached cdata.patch seems to fix it.


2. When entities occur in attribute values, they don't get replaced
   (e.g.: & does not get changed to &)

   The attached 42entities.t tests this condition.

   The attached entities.patch seems to fix it.


3. In SAX/PurePerl/EncodingDetect.pm a warning is output if no
   encoding is specified in the XML declaration and other sniffing
   techniques fail.  Some of my test data manages to elude the 
   sniffing by not including an XML declaration including whitespace
   before the first opening tag (whitespace I believe is not allowed
   before the declaration but is allowed before the opening tag).

   The attached encoding.patch simply removes the warning.
