The above contains character references to whitespace which, according to
attribute normalisation rules, will result in the normalized attribute value
containing the specified characters: #x0d and #x0a.  These are not valid
NmToken characters, so the "Validity constraint: Name Token" which reads
"Values of type NMTOKEN must match the Nmtoken production; values of type
NMTOKENS must match Nmtokens" will be violated.  This is not a
well-formedness error, but it is a validity error.
