I'm sure there are going to be several whitespace bugs that are marked "Tech Evangalism" that should be dupes, and others marked New that just haven't been duped yet. However, I was just pointing out that the total number of bugs showing this problem should be an indication of how much of a problem it is. :-) > > Attribute whitespace handling bugs (CDATA and non-CDATA) tends to break > > images, links, etc...

I think I misread a couple of bugs that specifically mentioned XML whitespace handling as doing it *right*. Sorry! Justin H. -- "If it's in stock, we've got it!" -slogan for a tire store
