WSD Issue 273 is closed

Dear Henry,

You raised an issue against the "Assigning Media Types to Binary Data in
XML" Last Call WD [1] in your email at [2] (2a). This was accepted by
the WSD WG as issue 273 [3].

We accepted that leading and trailing whitespace can cause problems for
matching. We decided not to use xs:token in order to retain characters
within quoted strings that are used for parameters so that they are not
converted into spaces. In order to address the issue, a change to the
note in Section 2.1 is added which states that all leading/trailing
whitespace characters are ignored. Please see the latest editor's draft
for this change [4]. 

We hope that this change addresses the issue you raised. Therefore, the
issue is closed. 

Thanks for your comments. 

Regards, 

-- Umit Yalcinalp (On behalf of the WSD WG)
