A bunch of us have been talking about linebreaking algorithms for XHTML, and compatibility across Amaya, tidy, and nvu, so that CVS diffs don't go crazy. I think some folks are getting together at the tech plenary to talk about it.

I suppose it's not exactly the same issue, but it's nearby.

Wuddaya mean, "even xed"? Xed is the coolest XML editor on the planet. (Well, except for insisting the document hasta be well-formed before you can edit it.)

Apologies, John (and Henry!). I certainly did not mean to cast aspersions on xed's character.

Enjoyed the rant. I have tread where your footnote 4 says only fools go. I am preparing a roundup of the top dozen XML Editors for EContent Magazine.

I'd be glad to send you a draft copy if you would like to criticize it - your rants most welcome.

We will almost meet in radio space tomorrow at the DITA 2006 Live! Show.

I am on from 3:00, you from 3:30. Maybe they will let us say hello to one another?

Bob.

Nice rant, and actually I stopped using XMLSpy a long time ago, the day I found out it messes with whitespace. But, what's wrong with the first example (XMLMind result)? Do you assume that para has xml:space="preserve"? Or do you consider that XML should never be canonicalised?
