Description fd 2010-04-29 08:17:09 UTC 
The XML specification allows equal signs to be surrounded by spaces, and attribute values to be surrounded by quotes or apostrophes:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-Attribute

Regular expressions used within the mobileOK Checker do not always take these possibilities into account. The following methods are impacted by this bug:
- TextContent.getXMLPrologEncoding
- CssResourceExtractor.extractExternalCss
