No. The normalised value is "a b", and that matches production 8. Erratum 8 clarifies that the validity constraints are applied after normalisation. >Section 3.3.3 says, that attribute-value normalization takes place before >checking of the value. And since "[8] Nmtokens ::= Nmtoken (S Nmtoken)" I >would say, both 'a b' 'a b' (checked as 'a b' and 'a\nb') are valid. Right. I think the spec should be changed to require that the normalised value match a production with #x20 instead of S. Otherwise the normalisation doesn't have the obviously (!) intended effect of passing the application a string of tokens separated by spaces. And in any case I believe this change is required for SGML compatibility. -- Richard -- Spam filter: to mail me from a .com/.net site, put my surname in the headers.
