Regarding the draft at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/PER-xmlschema-2-20040318/:
Section 2.5.1.2 says:
The ·lexical space· of a ·list· datatype is a set of literals whose
internal structure is a space-separated sequence of literals of
the ·atomic· datatype of the items in the ·list·.
It doesn't seem to to specify whether "space-separated" means
"separated by space characters" or "separated by space" (each
contiguous group of space characters).
For example, does the character sequence ('a' SP 'b' SP SP 'c')
represent:
- the list (a, b, c), or
- the list (a, b, "", c)?
It doesn't say whether "space" means only the character U+0020
or any space character.
It also doesn't say whether leading or trailing space is
significant.
For example, does the character sequence (SP 'a' SP 'b' SP SP 'c')
represent:
- the list (a, b, c), or
- the list ("", a, b, "", c)?
