Dear XML Core Working Group, I'm contacting you on behalf of the HTML Working Group. If I understand correctly, you are now in charge of the Schema document for the XML namespace at http://www.w3.org/2001/xml.xsd [1]. This Schema provides a default value of "preserve" for the xml:space attribute as follows: <xs:attribute name="space" default="preserve"> <xs:simpleType> <xs:restriction base="xs:NCName"> <xs:enumeration value="default"/> <xs:enumeration value="preserve"/> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType> </xs:attribute> We believe such an implementation of the XML Schema prohibits an XML application, such as XHTML (using XML Schemas and including the xml.xsd for XML attributes), from defining a fixed value for xml:space to be "preserve", as XML Schema does not allow an attribute to have both a default value and a fixed value. We would be grateful if you could kindly remove the default value from this Schema so that other Schemas can import and define an appropriate default or fixed value if necessary.
