As I point out in (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2005Aug/0259.html) there is no conformance statement indicating that the formal grammar must be supported. Perhaps: 'The token S in the grammar above stands for whitespace. Only the characters "space" (U+0020), "tab" (U+0009), "line feed" (U+000A), "carriage return" (U+000D), and "form feed" (U+000C) shall be included as whitespace. Other space-like characters, such as "em-space" (U+2003) and "ideographic space" (U+3000), shall not be included as whitespace.' Regards, Craig Northway
