Your email was discussed on todays SVG WG telcon, and we agree that your assumption is both reasonable and not explicit in the spec. http://www.w3.org/2008/05/29-svg-minutes.html#item05 We plan to correct this inconsistency in the spec, bringing the spec text into alignment with the attribute table, by modifying the text as follows: old: SVG supports the standard XML attribute 'xml:space' to specify the handling of white space characters within a given text content block element's character data. new: SVG supports the standard XML attribute 'xml:space' to specify the handling of white space characters on the character data within a given text content block element and its children.
