Currently the white space processing rules imply that they happen after anonymous box generation: # Any text that is directly contained inside a block element (not # inside an inline element) should be treated as an anonymous # inline element. # # For each inline element (including anonymous inlines elements), # the following steps are performed, treating bidi formatting # characters as if they were not there: Anonymous boxes wouldn't exist if we were processing white space before they were created. Anne's alternate proposal would require changing this to (very explicitly) interlace the anonymous table box and anonymous inline box generation rules with the white space generation rules. Are you saying that would also be necessary with http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2008Mar/0024.html or are you saying something else? ~fantasai
