The before [sequence of] white spaces and the after [sequence of] white spaces were ignored in CR-CSS2-20090908. Now, from reading the replacement-sentence in WD-CSS2-20101207, I am not sure they are all ignored... unless a string must start and end with no white space. Ok, well,.. I think the sentence of CR-CSS2-20090908 was clearer, more understandable, leading to a more predictable parsing result. regards, Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 test suite (RC3; October 27th 2010): http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20101027/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite contributors: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/
