I think the glep itself is really good, and my python's not good enough |
| 16 |
to critique the tool. So this is all about the DTD. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
It would be nice if the solution and the command became mandatory, and |
| 19 |
the command was formatted so that it could be run with /bin/sh. |

It's also my feeling that the exploit element should become an attribute |
| 22 |
so it can be checked - for example, if I'm writing a tool to secure a |
| 23 |
firewall while I'm on holiday, it would be essential to update remote |
| 24 |
holes, but less essential to update local holes. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And lastly and cosmetically, dates are normally represented as a |
| 27 |
day/month/year structure. In the version element, I think that you |
| 28 |
should get rid of the including attribute and extend the range attribute |
| 29 |
with greater-or-equal / less-than-or-equal. It's just my feeling that |
| 30 |
this will create more readable xml documents... |
