E62, which requires the separator in Names and NMTOKENS to be a single space
rather than any sequence of whitespace characters, looks like a rather major
incompatibility to me!
And the only justification given is SGML compatibility, so why on earth
wasn't this made a "for interoperability" rule which most of us can happily
ignore?
