Is whitespace allowed in Identity Constraint XPath expressions? The BNF in the XML Schema REC doesn't mention whitespace. Neither does the equivalent BNF in XPath. But elsewhere in XPath it says whitespace is allowed almost anywhere. See: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2001JulSep/0183.html
Whitespace should be permitted in XPath expressions. An erratum will be created to reflect this. Proposed erratum approved at the March 28 telecon. Erratum added as item E1-6.
