           Summary: specification errata: dx Attribute underspecified
                    where character data is null or space
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7126
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: HasReduction
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SVG
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: j.chetwynd at btinternet.com


there is no clear and unambiguous description for the dx Attribute in the case
where the XML character data within the 'tspan' element is null or space.


There is currently a difference in rendering between UAs, and errata filed as
per URL above.

The current description appears to be here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#TSpanElement
but afaict this possibility is not described.

In my view whether the character data within the 'tspan' element is null or
space it should be respected.

the rationale being that whereas in the attached example it is probable that
there is a primary key column it is easy to conceive circumstances where a key
would not be appropriate, or the key data may currently be unavailable, but one
wishes to display the available data.
