Summary0000404: Legends XML export produces malformed XML
DescriptionThe XML file exported from Legends mode is illegal/not well-formed.
XML files must have a single top-level element that is parent of everything else. The file produced by DF has multiple elements at the top level, for example "regions", "underground_regions" and "sites" are all elements at top level.

The solution will be to wrap everything (except the <?xml?> prologue) inside a single top-level element, such as <world></world>.

I believe most XML parsers will bail on the file as it is now. (At least MSXML does: Try opening the file in Internet Explorer and scroll to the bottom, where you should see an error message.)
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationSee XML 1.0 recommendation section 2.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-well-formed [^]

Just wanted to confirm this, though of course he did say that the feature was unfinished.

Just checked, this is still an issue in 0.31.03. Tested with a freshly generated pocket region.

Yea, Toady said that the export to xml isn't actually working yet.

As of 31.13, the exported xml has a wrapping <df_world> </df_world> element.
