"The string type may take any literal string as a value" -- http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#sec-attribute-types So... how do I express "x y" (that is: an 'x' character, followed by two spaces, followed by a 'y' character) as an XML attribute value? In conversation with James Clark (that I thought was recorded, but I can't find the record) he said you can't, and the text agrees with him: "the XML processor must further process the normalized attribute value by discarding any leading and trailing space (#x20) characters, and by replacing sequences of space (#x20) characters by a single space (#x20) character." -- http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210#AVNormalize -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ tel:+1-512-310-2971 (office, mobile) mailto:connolly.pager@w3.org (put your tel# in the Subject:)
