Hi Boris, >> I'd say the differences can be implementation issues (i.e., not >> respecting the default value for "xml:space", which is not to preserve >> white space)...? > > That's not correct.

Right, guess I didn't read carefully enough... :-| Thanks for clarifying! :-) > In any case, Jonathan is right that SVG seems to be underspecified on this > matter. Yes, that might be an issue. In the meantime, to workaround the different behavior across implementations one may set "xml:space" property in the root element to force a "default" behavior (affecting the whole document)... ;-) Having this discussed and adding a clarification in the SVG specification (still in time for SVG 1.1 Second Edition?) might be nice.
