I take that back. Since it would be non-sensical to for CSS white space collapsing to take effect before non-CSS processing, it doesn't make sense to use "must". It would be fair to non-normatively note that the document parser for HTML and XML has done some line break normalization at this point but there may still by carriage returns in the document tree. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
