It's a feature of XML, not of individual > languages. It's a feature of XML (just like xml:id...), but the language still needs to define where it's allowed in valid documents. "A special attribute named xml:space may be attached to an element to signal an intention that in that element, white space should be preserved by applications. In valid documents, this attribute, like any other, MUST be declared if it is used." -- <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-white-space> In HTML5 we do not use a schema language, but prose to define conformance. That prose just mention where xml:space is allowed. Best regards, Julian
