The bigger problem to me is embedded tabs, but that's not been a problem for quite some time. As far as the xml goes, I still don't see much of a problem with trailing spaces other than inside <screen> sections and even then, only when the the line terminates with a backslash. I see no issue with running an occasional cleanup script to remove all trailing spaces. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
