>Description:
I will submit a PR for the WebCalendar port shortly, but I wanted to get
this VuXML database entry in place first.

NOTE: I ran "make validate" on the old vuln.xml and my modified version.
Both times, I received thousands of warnings like this:

/usr/ports/security/vuxml/vuln.xml:XXXX: element p: validity error :
Value for attribute xmlns of p must be "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"

If I need to update something on my system to remove these warnings, please
let me know.

Port maintainer (secteam at FreeBSD.org) is cc'd.
