Title:
  lshw -xml produces incorrect (but parsable) output

Status in lshw package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lshw

  
  Example of buggy output:
  <resource type="irq" value="51" />

  It's true that the above now parses as XML.  It's not true that it's
  correct output!  The output should be:

  <resource type="irq" value="51" />

  See exiz ticket #115 for a bug which is gone.  Alas, there's now a
  different but similar bug in the xml output of lshw (at least in
  Ubuntu 10.10).  I suspect the fix applied to the #115 bug created this
  new bug, reported above.  I attempted to report the problem to exiz
  but their bug tracking stuff is broken, perhaps by Trac.  It rejected
  my report as spam.  So above is the report that exiz rejected.
