In clause 3.3.3 "Attribute-Value Normalization", the third substep in the third normalization step is For a white space character (#x20, #xD, #xA, #x9), append a space character (#x20) to the normalized value. However, according to the first normalization step All line breaks must have been normalized on input to #xA as described in 2.11 End-of-Line Handling, so the rest of this algorithm operates on text normalized in this way. In view of the above and clause 2.11 (where the substitution of #xA for #xD in the entity replacement text would presumably take place when the ENTITY declaration for that entity is processed), no line break characters (#xD) would be present at this point. I suggest that the rewording of For a white space character (#x20, #xD, #xA, #x9), append a space character (#x20) to the normalized value. as For the #x20, #xA, and #x9 white space characters, append a space character (#x20) to the normalized value. would be more accurate.
