I'm quite sure the spaces did not cause the error. You are allowed to have whitespace (space, tab, line-feed and carriage return) anywhere between tags, even if other character data is not allowed. You must have had something else in there that you didn't notice, but managed to delete when deleting the spaces. If, however, you can actually reproduce the error using spaces, then that may be a bug in the validator and can you please provide a link to a test case to demonstrate this. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
