I wrote: Normalization of whitespace by collapsing all whitespace tokens to a single ASCII space character (U+0020). Note that the text MAY begin or end with a space character. i.e. no trim is implied that has the problem that it leaves spaces in East Asian texts where they may not be desired. @iherman replied: I am not sure I understand. The only goal of this section is to provide a canonical version of the text for unequivocal comparison. What does "may not be desired" mean in this respect? East Asian text is usually written without spaces. In some contexts (e.g. HTML source), line breaks and spaces at the start of a line are present to make editing easier, but these ideally should be totally normalized away rather than collapsed to a single space. -- GitHub Notification of comment by duerst Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-annotation/issues/227#issuecomment-223925266 using your GitHub account
