Message-ID: <46B834CD.9020802@hp.com> To: www-svg@w3.org I know
there has been discussion on whitespace handling in SVG on this
list, and that the definition of whitespace handling has been
shown to  be unclear in some respects
[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2007Jul/0037.html],
but I  am having difficulty with even the simplest case shown in
the SVG 1.1   The SVG 1.1 definition of whitepsace handling
[http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#WhiteSpace] (in the
default case,  when xml:space='default' is assumed) says that
all leading and trailing  whitespace should be removed from a
text element's character data (which  I assume to mean any child
text node of an svg:text element).  However, the 'tspan01'
example  [http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TSpanElement]
shows the trailing  space in the text node before the svg:tspan
and the leading space in the  text node after the svg
