[erlang-questions] Problem with xmerl - xml parsing

[Steve Davis]

HI Sreenivasan,

Perhaps the biggest issue here is that, in XML, space preservation is
only defined for the element values/content, not for attributes. It
may help to review the XML specs particularly the definition of
attribute values, and then you'll understand that erlang's xmerl is,
in fact, working correctly.

regs,
Steve
