I'm looking at the EBNF grammar
of XML 1.0 at www.w3.org and it
brings up a question.
The XML specification doesn't allow
for whitespace in several places.
For example, this is not legal
in a start tag.
.
.
V
< termdef >
And these are not legal
in an end tag.
. .
. .
V V
< / termdef >
Why is this?
Attributes allow whitespace.
This is legal.
. . . . .
. . . . .
V V V V V
<termdef usename = " foobar1 " >
Why is whitespace allowed sometimes
and other times not?
