Since dynamic attributes were allowed in Spring 3, it raised the
possibility to specify a type attribute on a number of the form tags.
Where it makes sense (see below) that attribute is now rejected
and reversely where it makes sense it is accepted.
InputTag allows types other than "text" but rejects type="radio" or
type="checkbox" since there is a good reason for those to be used
only in conjunction with the appropriate form library tags.
Other HTML input tags such as PasswordTag, HiddenInputTag,
Checkbox(es)Tag and RadioBox(es)Tag check the dynamic attributes
and reject them if they contain a type attribute since.
* eliminated all usage of "the section entitled", because <xref> links already render including "the section called ". This was resulting in sentences like 'see also the section entitled the section called "@Autowired"'. This issue affected nearly all sections of the documentation, so went beyond just beans.xml
* fixed table overflow in the "Using filters to customize scanning" section (approx. p.90)
* fixed all code overflows in <programlisting/> elements
* corrected a couple minor syntax errors with SpEL examples (missing closing braces)
* added 'language="..."' element to <programlisting> elements where appropriate to enable syntax highlighting.
* normalized all code indention to four-space (some code listings were using one- and two-space)
* updated all code listings to use same-line opening braces.
* eliminated section regarding backward compatibility with Spring DTDs and singleton=true|false. This seems like cruft to me, and we shouldn't keep historical notes around forever.
* Added <note> regarding the new thread scope (SimpleThreadScope) to Section 3.5 Bean Scopes. Also updated the section on registering a custom Scope implementation to use the SimpleThreadScope as an example.
* updated the new-in-3.xml section to improve the @Configuration example
