If this happens, it wlil be time to standardise whitespace handling at the applicaton level, perhaps. Right now, I fnd this argument totally bogus. You might as well point out that Microsoft Excel (say) interprets <formula> and <cell> in one way, and PrisonGlue interprets them differently. Whitespace treatment needs to be specified in the CML specification, for example, and then any conforming CML processor will do the right thing and there's no problem. Taking CML and passing it to a CDF processor will result in different whitespace treatment, I expect... and also different treatment of all the non-whitespace too! And that's fine.
