Posted from: 91.182.68.102 User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.786.0 Safari/535.1 49474 1 mathias 2011-06-11 07:02:13 +0000 All kinds of whitespace characters are disallowed in attribute values. For example, these two will have the exact same result: <!-- spaces --> <p id=foo bar> <!-- tabs --> <p id=foo bar> Obviously, `bar` will be considered as a separate attribute, and won’t be part of the @id attribute value. 49485 2 mathias 2011-06-12 17:03:57 +0000 > The value, along with the = character, can be omitted altogether if the value is the empty string. I believe “can” is supposed to be “should” here. <p id=> isn’t conformant. 49486 3 mathias 2011-06-12 17:06:34 +0000 Also, perhaps a link to http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/syntax.html#unquoted somewhere from this section would be useful. 53517 4 mike 2011-08-04 05:14:38 +0000 mass-move component to LC1 55459 5 ian 2011-08-19 02:58:32 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: Please file only one issue per bug. For comment 0: I've changed it to "space characters" which has a more precise defined meaning. However, note that this entire section is very vague and isn't really trying to be precise. It's just an introduction. If someone wants the exact rules they should look at the actual rules. For comment 1: No actionable feedback. For comment 2: No, this is not a normative section. For comment 3: There is already a link to that section in the very sentence quoted in comment 0. 55460 6 contributor 2011-08-19 02:59:10 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r6514.
