Dear SMIL editors,
In MacIE 5.0 (the current release version) and IE 5.1b1 (the current
public beta for Mac OS X) you can spot missing words throughout the
SMIL 2.0 specification, apparently caused by an interaction between
extra space in class values and some CSS rules. I did report this to
Microsoft.
For example in the unordered list in section 5.8 at:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/PR-smil20-20010605/layout.html#LayoutModuleNS-HierarchicalLayout
See this screenshot:
http://www.w3.org/2001/01/screenshots/smil-value-spaces.png
Part of the markup:
the <a href="layout.html#edef-region" class="noxref"><SPAN
class="einst-region einst">region</SPAN></a> element
The spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.2
"...User agents may ignore leading and trailing white space in CDATA
^^^
attribute values (e.g., " myval " may be interpreted as
"myval"). Authors should not declare attribute values with
^^^^^^^^^^
leading or trailing white space."
Could the extra spaces in SMIL class values please be removed? This
white space was apparently introduced by a production script. (Removing
the line ".hide { display: none }" from W3C-[WD, CR, PR, REC].css is a
workaround I don't expect will happen.) Using Tidy is one way to remove
extra spaces: http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/
Thank you,
