Thank you for your clear answer boen_robot, The BNF standard was new for me and helped me alot with interpreting the syntax of these specs.

We receive this XML from an external party, and I wonder if it's fair to tell them they are not following the exact XML specs. What do you think?

Does anyone know if it is allowed to use space characters right before and after the 'equals'-sign?<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8' ?>The offical page http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ says:Eq ::= S? '=' S?Does the question mark here mean that it is allowed to use spaces here?
