Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2318:
-----------------------------------------

Re.1.  OK, if you want a name to be everything but a white-space character, you need t make sure that it is always followed by a whitespace character (or the end of the formula) so that the name stops and any remainder of the additive expression is not confused as being part of the name.  The given EBNF does not accomplish that.

This would have worked better if there was some kind of bracketing on the name (whether quotes, or another "?" on the end or something).

I don't understnd why wsp doesn't use the same white-space characters as [XML 1.0] does in its pattern S (it is perfectly safe), even if you give your own pattern.  I also don't understand why that isn't also the same white-space rule for what is not permitted in the name pattern.
