[Erp5-dev] Patches to make XML representation of BT more stable

[Yoshinori Okuji]

Hello,

Thank you for your patches. For now, I prefer to apply only perfectly 
compatible patches. My plan is to make next version (5.2) in 2-3 weeks. I'd 
recommend waiting until this is done before applying the rest.
