Summary: Whitespacing rules are too restrictive for the indent
parameter
Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
Version: Recommendation
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Serialization
AssignedTo: zongaro@ca.ibm.com
ReportedBy: guerneca2003@yahoo.com
QAContact: public-qt-comments@w3.org
The serialization spec says in 5.1.3:
"Whitespace characters MUST NOT be added other than adjacent to an element
node, that is, immediately before a start tag or immediately after an end tag."
This seems a bit too restrictive. I think the intent of these rules is to not
end up adding any significant whitespace.
Imagine a complex type with element only content type and several comments and
processing instructions. This rule forbids whitespace to be added to separate
the comments/PIs, even though the whitespace would be insignificant. Therefore,
I'd suggest relaxing this rule a little bit.
