+From: Khem Raj <khem.raj@oss.qualcomm.com>
+Subject: [PATCH] tests: accept docutils 0.23 boolean attribute serialization
+
+docutils 0.23 serializes boolean node attributes as "1"/"0" in its
+pseudo-XML output instead of "True"/"False", which makes every
+test_examples comparison fail against the bundled compare.xml models.
+Normalize the generated value before comparing.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
