Package: vim-common
Version: 1:6.3-068+1
Severity: normal

The change made to fix #196001 seems to have introduced another problem:

Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/xml.vim:
line   61:
E399: Not enough arguments: syntax region xmlString contained start=+"+ contains=xmlEntity display
line   62:
E399: Not enough arguments: syntax region xmlString contained start=+'+ contains=xmlEntity display
Hit ENTER or type command to continue

Those two lines are currently:

syn region  xmlString contained start=+"+ contains=xmlEntity display
syn region  xmlString contained start=+'+ contains=xmlEntity display

Shouldn't they actually be:

syn region  xmlString contained start=+"+ end=+"+ contains=xmlEntity display
syn region  xmlString contained start=+'+ end=+"+ contains=xmlEntity display

I'm certainly no great shakes at writing a syntax file, but I can tell
the existing one isn't right. :)
