What does "space-separated" mean? #870
Comments
I guess the right answer is that whatever XML allows as separating terms is valid here. After all, this is an XML attribute. Ie, the right terminology is probably to say 'white space separated terms', where white space is defined here: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-S https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-S this means that yes, CR and LF are valid indeed. But none of the special space characters listed in the page you referred to are.. My two cents… |

That's my guess too, but we need more explicit words. |

In real production world, I've never seen someone using something else than a regular space character (0x20) in separating attributes values. |

Proposed Solution Add reference to XML white space. |

In the definition of epub:type, we have a phrase "space-separated terms". What does it mean? There are many space characters in Unicode. Does it allow CR and LF?
