Concerning whitespaces - Would it be a problem to have carriage returns
within an attribute?

Although I might agree with Sebastian on data for use in web pages, I
tent to use attributes whenever possible unless I need control over
whitespace. This results in smaller filesizes and seems more readable
(to me at least). I don't thing there is any important difference in
speed though...
