Hello,
In [1], Martin Duerst submitted the following comment on the Last
Call Working Draft of XSLT 2.0 and XQuery 1.0 Serialization on behalf of
the I18N Working Group:
> [5] Section 2, point 3: "each separated by a single space":
> Inserting a space may not be the right thing, in particular for
> Chinese, Japanese, Thai,... which don't have spaces between words.
> This has to be checked very carefully.
Thanks to Martin and the working group for this comment.
The XSL and XML Query Working Groups discussed the comment, and
decided that no change to the Serialization specification is required. The
reason for separating each pair of string values by a single space is not
to achieve any kind of linguistic separation of words, but to separate
values in a way that would be consistent with the requirements for an XML
Schema type derived by list, for instance.
May I ask the I18N Working Group to confirm that this response is
acceptable?
Thanks,
Henry [On behalf of the XSL and XML Query Working Groups]
