Dear Sir or Madam,

0) Context

`mwxml2sql' is a utility for rapidly converting published XML dump files into SQL files for the `page', `revision', and `text' tables. These SQL files may then be rapidly imported into a database.

1) Breaking change in XML dump file schema

XML dump files using schema `export-0.8.xsd' are processed by `mwxml2sql'.
XML dump files using schema `export-0.9.xsd' break `mwxml2sql'.

2) Example of error
