The change is in fact a subtle one: it affects only the *value* of an attribute, which is what you have after the attribute-normalization process described in clause 3.3.3 is performed. (Note that 3.3.3 has been clarified by E24 and E61.) Consequently, although <element magic="foo bar"/> where "magic" is of type ENTITIES, IDREFS, or NMTOKENS, will still work (and return a value of "foo bar"), under E62 it is invalid to say: <element magic="foo 			bar"/> Of course it is still well-formed. Does anyone seriously think that the second example ought to be valid? -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@r...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
