in thread XML input through STDIN

Dash is AFAIK just a lighter and faster version of bash, but less interactive and lacking features extending the POSIX standard.

So interactive terminals run bash, while startup scripts will use dash (via sh)

Hence basics like "quote removal" must be the same.

It's like nitpicking the IE can't do JavaScript because it does JScript ...
