I am trying to pindown the behavior of attribute contents. I have read some conflicting articles and want to get clarification.
I have no DTD and I parse an attribute on an element. Is that attribute assumed to by of type CDATA? If it is of type CDATA, do the attribute normalization rules apply? Would the attribute name="<<<here>>>" parse ok if it is considered CDATA by default? Will all parsers handle it this way? If it is not CDATA for real, I have to escape the special characters and extra white space is removed, right? What if I declare xml:space="preserve" on my root element, will that effect the attribute normalization on sub elements? Or just the content data? Is this legal for an attribute name="![CDATA[ <<<here>>>]]" Thanks!!
