ISSUE-2394: Newline removal in text processing not useful

text-newline

Newline removal in text processing not useful

State:

RAISED

Product:

SVG 2

Raised by:

Cameron McCormack

Opened on:

2010-12-08

Description:

I see that text.html#WhiteSpace says that newlines in
<text xml:space="default"> must be removed, rather than replaced with a
space. I find that a bit strange, and at least inconsistent with HTML.

Here is a small test:

WebKit and Batik remove the newline. Firefox and Opera replace it with
a space. (Haven’t got my Windows VM set up to test IE.)

I think the spec should change to match Firefox/Opera behaviour.
