Interesting. 1. What should I do when I see this: <id> urn:foo </id> 2. What should I do when I see this: <id> urn:foo </id> 100,000 times? Again to make it clear: I am not arguing for whitespace in atom:id. I am arguing that whitespace is inevitable in atom:id and I think in that regard the spec is buggy, one way or another. cheers Bill
