makeinfo --xml output not well-formed

[Thien-Thi Nguyen]

greetings,

please find attached three (one input and two output) files.
they were processed like so:

 common="--xml e2.texi"
 makeinfo -o e2a.xml $common
 /home/ttn/build/GNU/texinfo/makeinfo/makeinfo -o e2.xml $common

the first makeinfo says: "makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.8"
         and the second: "makeinfo (GNU texinfo) 4.8.90"

version 4.8.90 was built from a cvs checkout today, a few hours ago.

using emacs from cvs, file lisp/xml.el (cvs 1.56 dated 2007-03-17),
the commands:
  (xml-parse-file "e2a.xml")
  (xml-parse-file "e2.xml")

both result in an error:
XML: (Not Well-Formed) Invalid end tag (expecting detailmenu)

inspection of the xml files does indeed reveal (even to my untrained
eye) what appears to be improper nesting of the `detailmenu' element.
