Hello, according to the SVG 1.1 specification the glyph-name attribute of glyph elements, and the g1 and g2 attributes of hkern and vkern elements both have the format "<name> [, <name> ]* " which would imply a comma separated list. In the section Basic Data Types under <list of xxx> the SVG 1.1 specification states that "Unless explicitly described differently, lists within SVG's XML attributes can be either comma-separated, with optional white space before or after the comma, or white space-separated." (Which maybe doesn't apply here, since the expression <list of names> is not used.)
The SVG Tiny 1.2 Draft defines the attributes glyph-name, g1, and g2 to be of the format "<list-of-strings>" which in the Basic Data Types section is defined as white space separated: "A <list-of-strings> consists of a separated sequence of <string>s. String lists are white space-separated, where white space is defined as one or more of the following consecutive characters: "space" (U +0020), "tab" (U+0009), "line feed" (U+000A) and "carriage return" (U +000D)." With comma separated lists kerning works in Apache Batik, the Adobe SVG Viewer, and (though not always correctly) in Opera, and from my understanding this behavior is standards compliant and should remain so for backwards compatibility.
