@tilgovi This the getSelection() API, so even if the rendering is with the whitespace collapsed, the selection's characters will include the whitespace as recorded in the document, as opposed to what you end up with in your clipboard when you copy the selection from the browser? We can take out the whitespace normalization recommendation. Systems wanting to match the content in different representations will need to massage the data, but they'll probably need to do that anyway. (For an experiment, I made a document with the contents <p>a b c d e</p>, selected some text, and looked at window.getSelection() and compared the extent of the selection ... which included the whitespace characters from the textContent) -- GitHub Notification of comment by azaroth42 Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/221#issuecomment-221113698 using your GitHub account
