I just commited the attached patch to fix a typo in XmlParser.java.
Hi Michael,
Actually you have introduced a typo instead, it was correct before. In
English, words beginning with 'U' are pronounced with a consonantal 'Y'
in front, therefore you say 'a' not 'an'.
e.g. a university, a uniform, a URL
Another oddity to remember is initial 'H', which can sometimes be
preceded by 'a' and sometimes 'an', the rules are dependent on the
etymology of the word.
e.g. a horse, an hotel, an hospice, a hurdle
In any case you need to revert this patch.
