<p>The XML tokenising bodge that allows a sequence of <br />
XML elements and comments to occur without commas <br />
doesn't parse expressions properly. In particular it <br />
doesn't respect the postfix tokens, e.g. the <br />
following: </p>
<p><br /><!-- hello -->.format();<br />
</p>
<p>causes an odd error regarding the format function, <br />
which states the following: </p>
<p>MISHAP : Cannot format object <br />
BECAUSE : Only Strings and XML comments can be <br />
formatted <br />
OBJECT : <br/> <br />
ORIGIN : origin <br />
LINE NO. : 1 <br />
PHASE : Evaluation </p>
<p>However, the format function is written correctly, <br />
except the XML tokenising bodge joins the BR tag and <br />
the XML comment using a CommaExpr, which then becomes <br />
the first argument to the format function. </p>
<p>The correct behaviour is that the ApplyExpr for the <br />
format function should be joined to the BR tag using <br />
a CommaExpr - but this would actually be an error as <br />
a comma is required to join XML to non-XML. </p></div>
