As far as I can tell, vertical tab ('\v') is not defined as a space
character anymore, but does not cause a parse error either (unlike
other control characters). Is this intentional?
In IE7, IE8 and Safari, '\v' is handled as a space character in the
sense that it can be used to separate attributes, but this is probably
not important, and HTML5 does not seem to prevent browsers from
handling '\v' as white space in text content anyway. I am sure you
have a good reason for not defining '\v' as a space character, but
would it not be more consistent to treat form feed ('\f') in the same
way? (Firefox handles both as non-space characters, IE and Safari
handle both as space characters, and handling these two slightly
exotic C0 white-space characters differently seems surprising.)
