well by "polyglot context" I meant "situations where you want to serve 
the same file as text/html or application/xhtml+xml and get equivalent 
behaviour., But polygot spec doesn't aim for equivalent behaviour it 
aims for identical DOM, which is harder to achieve.

Personally, yes I think it should be allowed, the spec already allows 
some differences from white space parsing in attribute values, and this 
isn't a lot different.
