Dear Scalable Vector Graphics Working Group, In http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-SVGMobile12-20050413/text.html it is proposed that text and textArea element imply xml:space="preserved" when they are editable. This is a poor proposal as it is guranteed to yield in undesired side-effects. Authors would have to be careful to include white-space in a way that does not yield in unreasonable rendering, and, probably worse, dynamically making an element (un)editable would likely cause strange changes to the text. To prevent this, authors would have to use xml:space="preserve" themselves in which case this inconsistent default is useless anyway. Please change the draft such that this re- quirement is removed and that it is clearly pointed out why authors might want to set xml:space="preserve". regards. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
