Daniel Egeberg 2b587ab01f Normalized initializer NULL-values to use the &null; entity:
for file in `find -name '*.xml'`; do sed -i -e 's/<initializer>null<\/initializer>/<initializer>\&null;<\/initializer>/i' $file; done

<para>
<function>exif_read_data</function> reads the
<acronym>EXIF</acronym> headers from a <acronym>JPEG</acronym> or
<acronym>TIFF</acronym> image file. This way you can read meta data
generated by digital cameras.
</para>
<para>
<acronym>EXIF</acronym> headers tend to be present in JPEG/TIFF images generated by digital
cameras, but unfortunately each digital camera maker has a different
idea of how to actually tag their images, so you can't always rely on
a specific Exif header being present.
</para>
<para>
<literal>Height</literal> and <literal>Width</literal> are computed the
same way <function>getimagesize</function> does so their values must not be
part of any header returned. Also, <literal>html</literal> is a
height/width text string to be used inside normal <acronym>HTML</acronym>.
</para>
<para>
When an Exif header contains a Copyright note, this itself can contain two
values. As the solution is inconsistent in the Exif 2.10 standard, the
<literal>COMPUTED</literal> section will return both entries
<literal>Copyright.Photographer</literal> and
<literal>Copyright.Editor</literal> while the <literal>IFD0</literal>
sections contains the byte array with the NULL character that splits both
entries. Or just the first entry if the datatype was wrong (normal behaviour
of Exif). The <literal>COMPUTED</literal> will also contain the entry
<literal>Copyright</literal> which is either the original copyright string,
or a comma separated list of the photo and editor copyright.
</para>
<para>
The tag <literal>UserComment</literal> has the same problem as the Copyright
tag. It can store two values. First the encoding used, and second the value
itself. If so the <literal>IFD</literal> section only contains the encoding
or a byte array. The <literal>COMPUTED</literal> section will store both in
the entries <literal>UserCommentEncoding</literal> and
<literal>UserComment</literal>. The entry <literal>UserComment</literal>
is available in both cases so it should be used in preference to the value
in <literal>IFD0</literal> section.
</para>
<para>
<function>exif_read_data</function> also validates EXIF data tags according
to the EXIF specification (<link
xlink:href="&url.exifspec;">&url.exifspec;</link>, page 20).
</para>
<note>
<para>
Windows ME/XP can both wipe the Exif headers when connecting to a camera.
