[tei-council] @xml:space, whitespace and http://purl.org/tei/bug/3600991

[James Cummings]

Hi there,

John McCaskey believes we introduced new errors and confusion by 
our attempt to clarify the use of the @xml:space attribute and so 
re-opened a ticket about it.  I suggested he rewrite the copy to 
what he believed would express the truth and Sebastian and I have 
both looked at it.

http://purl.org/tei/bug/3600991

Since this is a textual (non-schema affecting) change, could 
Council look at this ASAP and see if you think it represents the 
truth of what we believe @xml:space to do?  A lot of this seems 
to originate from vagueness in the original specification and 
different tool implementations.
