ISSUE-2172: Use CSS 'white-space' instead of 'xml:space'

xml:space

Use CSS 'white-space' instead of 'xml:space'

State:

RAISED

Product:

SVG 2

Raised by:

Doug Schepers

Opened on:

2008-11-02

Description:

We should not be using 'xml:space' to affect presentation in addition to parsing. Consider using the CSS 'white-space' property (though this is pretty clearly HTML-specific... maybe new values?).
