Is whitespace allowed within XML/HTML tags?

by

The specification (section 3.1 Start-tags, end-tags, and empty-element tags) says that there is no white space between the '<' and the tag name, between '</' and the tag name, or inside '/>'. You can add white space after the tag name, though:

<foo            >
</foo        >
<bar
/>
