I would say no. 7.3 clearly states it's NOT a line terminator. > 2. Next Line is not called out anywhere in Table 2, Whitespace > Characters. Does this mean Table 2 is simply missing a row for the clause > from “Line Terminators” above, or that the clause should not even exist? Or 7.2 should be extended with noting that any unicode line terminator that's not listed in 7.3 is also considered (regular) white space, as per 7.2. - peter _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
