I believe the HTML credo is "be strict in what you produce, and liberal in what you accept" (or some such), and that was the spirit of my suggestion. I don't believe there is a very compelling reason to require quoting, but it certainly makes the most sense. >b/t/w - I believe the current grammar would not support the suggestion - I >think it requires quoting. To handle whitespace? The draft says "..., and spaces in font family names are replaced with dashes." This makes me as an implementor believe that spaces are only allowed when they are translated to dashes, quoted or not (i.e., even quoted spaces would be translated to dashes). The examples do not quote, either, which makes me not think about using quotes to protect spaces within individual family names. -Chris Chris Wilson cwilso@microsoft.com
