Description Michael Kay 2005-04-06 21:38:13 UTC 
In serialization section 5.1.4, the phrase

Whitespace MAY only be added adjacent to...

is constraining rather than permissive. It should be rephrased to, say,

Whitespace MUST NOT be added other than adjacent to...
Comment 1 Michael Kay 2005-04-06 21:56:41 UTC 
The same comment applies to section 7.4.3
Comment 2 Joanne Tong 2005-05-12 18:23:00 UTC 
fixed sections 5.1.3, 7.4.3, AND 6.1.3
