[reportlab-users] xml parser error (invalid attribute name class) in paragraph

[Jon.Reinsch]

Well, given that it was simply ignored in 2.5, I might as well remove 
the class attribute from my markup, rather than apply the patch. "style" 
doesn't seem to work either (I get "ValueError: findSpanStyle not 
implemented in this parser"). However, something that didn't work in 2.5 
(font backColor="yellow") is now supported. Without the exception on the 
class attribute, I probably wouldn't have discovered this. Thanks!
