From <http://www.webdav.org/wg/rfcdev/issues.htm>: -- 107 IS_XMLSPACE_SIGNIFICANT Edit InBis Should the xml:space attribute be respected.� 2518bis on 6/1/02 says it should not. There is some debate on this. Re-raised: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2002AprJun/0137.html The conclusion of the May/June 2002 discussion was that white space is significant: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-dist-auth/2002AprJun/0152.html -- So the old issues list says this was discussed, that there was consensus, and that rfc2518bis has been changed accordingly. If you want to re-open the issue, please do so (but in a different thread). If you do, please make sure to clarify what was wrong the resolution we reached back then. > I'm still very curious to hear what implementations do/assume; that's > good input to see if the consensus is consistent with the spec. Do you have any data about servers that get that wrong? That would be interesting indeed. Best regards, Julian
