- Patch #11728 by Uwe Hermann: fixed some typos in the code comments, Doxygen documentation and screen output.

  Uwe: I dropped the 'iff' chunks as 'iff' stands for 'if and only if'.

/**
 * Wrapper around xml_parser_create() which extracts the encoding from the XML
 * data first and sets the output encoding to UTF-8. This function should be
 * used instead of xml_parser_create(), because PHP's XML parser doesn't check
 * the input encoding itself.
 *
 * This is also where unsupported encodings should be converted.
 * Callers should take this into account: $data might have been changed after
 * the call.
 *
 * @param $data The XML data which will be parsed later.
 */

- Fixed a weird typo introduced by the <b> -> <strong> patches and indented
  the code a bit better.

- Committed a slightly modified version of Slavica's table prefix patch.

- Renamed 'xmlrpc_decode' to '_xmlrpc_decode' to avoid redeclaration when
  PHP's XML-RPC library is enabled.

- Renamed 'xmlrpc_encode' to '_xmlrpc_encode' to avoid redeclaration when
  PHP's XML-RPC library is enabled.

- Removed 'if (funcion_exist("xmlrpc_encode"))' check from common.inc.

- Patch by Ulf: XHTML-ified the code.

- removed references to $this->user() from themes.
- removed $BaseTheme->user(). It was deprecated a while back.

NOTE: this update will break custom themes, so make sure you update your
themes before updating!

- Upgraded the XML-RPC libraries to the latest version as suggested by
  Julian.

  passing them that way.

- a batch of updates, including some experimental changes to the moderation
  of comments and nodes.

- Upgraded the XML-RPC libraries to version 1.01:
    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xml-rpc/message/3626

- Added an XML-RPC server.  Modules that want to export remote procedure
  calls can implement the new 'xmlrpc' hook.

  Example:

   function mymodule_xmlrpc() {
     return array("drupal.myfunction" => array("function" => "mymodule_myfunction"));
   }
