Hi Shane, Hi Chris.
A couple of months ago I raised the question of fixing a little issue
with the flattened DTDs of SVG 1.1 and XHTML+MathML+SVG.
The problem is that the xml:space is defined twice, once as:
<!ENTITY % SVG.space.attrib
"xml:space ( default | preserve ) #IMPLIED"
>
and once for the style element:
<!ENTITY % SVG.style.attlist "INCLUDE" >
<![%SVG.style.attlist;[
<!ATTLIST %SVG.style.qname;
xml:space ( preserve ) #FIXED 'preserve'
%SVG.Core.attrib;
type %ContentType.datatype; #REQUIRED
media %MediaDesc.datatype; #IMPLIED
title %Text.datatype; #IMPLIED
>
<!-- end of SVG.style.attlist -->]]>
<!-- end of svg-style.mod -->
]]>
(the above is for SVG 1.1. Same goes for XHTML+MathML+SVG, probably
because the latter was built from the former)
Context:

At the time, Chris said that the SVG WG would look into it, and I
recall Shane saying that this was on his radar too. This is why I am
bothering you again with it today.
Has it been fixed on your end? Even if it is in an editor's draft or
an errata-to-be, I'd be interested, because I want to fix the issue
in the sgml-lib of the validator, to be re-released really soon now
(TM).
If it hasn't been fixed on your end, I'd be really grateful if you
could advise what the proper solution is. I believe that the second
definition (the one for the style element) should go, since xml:space
is already defined in the core attributes, but I don't really know
enough to make an informed decision, and would not want to mess up
the sgml-lib by mistake.
Many thanks.
