[css-gcpm] order of text replace vs. whitespace processing

Good evening list.

 

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#character <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-gcpm/#character>  sais regarding the text-replace property:

 

"This property is evaluated after the 'content' property, and before 'text-transform'."

 

However (if I am not mistaken) it is undefined, whether text-replace is to be applied before or after whitespace processing.

 

Currently I expect that the sentence above implicitly assumes that whitespace processing happens after text-transform but 

CSS2.1 never defines when text-transform is applied with respect to whitespace processing.

In 2.1 it did not matter - text-transform does not modify the content in a way that it affects whitespace processing so applying whitespace processing before text transformation does not change the result.

 

However with text-replace now being defined to happen before text-transform should't it be defined that/whether text replacement also occurs before whitespace processing?

 

 

Best regards,

 

Ludger
