Re: [Simple-support] ignored name attribute of Root annotation

[Adam R. <ada...@gm...>]

Hi,

that's reasonable, altough it doesn't solve my problem, which is: how to
force the XML root element to have a specific name? In other words, what
changes have to be made to the RootEl class to make that third test that I
posted earlier fail?
