Could you give a little more details? Sure. We don't want to allow zenkaku space in the header because it will complicate parsing of the header, though this will make it easier for Japanese users to make illegal XML files. I have seen many Japanese users accidentally put zenkaku space into places where it was illegal according to the SGML declaration they were using. They got many erros that were *hard* for them to understand. -- BTW. How is KSP? I used to work there a few years ago on the 6th floor...
