Feature Request: Support XML in Razor cshtml files

description

If we want to have an action that returns XML data, we need to either serialize it ourself, or use a cshtml view with XML. If we do the latter, then the editor is not so friendly to the XML data (squiglies, etc.)

I've also found it has issues with HTML self closing tags. +1 to providing a way to turn validation of the content off. I love the rendering engine as a standalone.

More details on example and behavior: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10931376/asp-net-mvc-4-and-razor-2-view-engine-no-longer-supports-xml/10935189

  • EDIT: I meant to say HTML 5 self closing tags (e.g. the link element.) Razor throws a compile error because it strictly enforces HTML 5 element closures.
