Description Michael[tm] Smith 2009-08-20 09:06:19 UTC 
The section "Restrictions on the contents of raw text and RCDATA elements" states:
[[
The text in raw text and RCDATA elements must not contain any occurrences of the string "</" (U+003C LESS-THAN SIGN, U+002F SOLIDUS) followed by characters that case-insensitively match the tag name of the element followed by one of U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION, U+000A LINE FEED (LF), U+000C FORM FEED (FF), U+0020 SPACE, U+003E GREATER-THAN SIGN (>), or U+002F SOLIDUS (/), unless that string is part of an escaping text span.
]]

I notice that the "followed by one of..." list in that statement does not include U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN. Should it?
