table demonstration of why null and space might not be ignored

is there a clear and unambiguous description for the dx Attribute in the case where the XML character data within the &apos;tspan&apos; element is null or space?  There is currently a difference in rendering between UAs, and no errata found.

The current description appears to be here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TSpanElement
but afaict this possibility is not described.

In my view whether the character data within the &apos;tspan&apos; element is null or space it should be respected.

the rationale being that whereas in the attached example it is probable that there is a primary key column it is easy to conceive circumstances where a key would not be appropriate, or the key data may currently be unavailable, but one wishes to display the available data.</thetext>

    <thetext>status changed to resolved was reported to me as changed by kidz1stav@yahoo.com
