This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
From the datatypes spec: "integer has the following constraining facets: ... whiteSpace ..." and... "[Definition:] A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied to a datatype to constrain its value space." So, does the whitespace facet constrain the *value space* of integer somehow?
