Section 2.8 says that XML processors must behave as though every element encountered in the document had an attribute declared thus: -XML-space (preserve|collapse) #IMPLIED Is it then legal or not to explicitly declare such an attribute for an element, possible with the specification of a default value? There's nothing to suggest that it can't be done, except the provision in 1.5 about it being naughty to use a name beginning "-XML-" "in a fashion other than those described in this specification". And it does seem to me that for documents with a DTD one would certainly often want to be able to set a default in this manner in the DTD.
