An XML processor must always pass all characters in a document
that are not markup through to the application.
Those spaces are content, not markup, so they must be passed through.
Now, if your document has a DTD, and the content model of A is
element content, and you are using a validating processor, the
processor must tell you that those text nodes are "ignorable"
Also from 2.10:
A validating XML processor must also inform the application
which of these characters constitute white space appearing in
element content.
| I really wonder:
|
| Isn't it weird?
Nope.
| Is it the normal behavior?
Yep.
| Is there a means to disable this, and have an IE-5.0-like
behaviour?
Nope.
| Is it an actual compliance to XML and DOM specs?
Yes. IE5 is not.
Be seeing you,
norm
