At setp 6 - for an empty Token, all the space characters will be removed then
what is being added at Setp 7 and how the empty string is getting counted ?

    <thetext>It seems pretty clear that the token list that the algorithm returns can contain the empty string.  Step five even calls this out explicitly.  So &quot;foo,, bar  ,  ,baz&quot; would become [&quot;foo&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;bar&quot;, &quot;&quot;, &quot;baz&quot;].</thetext>

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: If the question is &quot;what does step 6 add when /s/ is the empty string&quot; then the answer is &quot;the empty string&quot;. I don&apos;t see the problem here. Could you elaborate?</thetext>
