| <space> | indicates the location of a significant space in the copy text. |
| Attributes: | | dim | (dimension) indicates whether the space is horizontal or vertical. | | Datatype: (horizontal | vertical) | | Legal values: | | horizontal | the space is horizontal. | | vertical | the space is vertical. |

this attribute should reflect the more important of the two dimensions.

minims, inches, or other appropriate unit. | | Datatype: CDATA | | Values: any measured quantity, e.g. ``10 letters'' or ``4
lines''. | | Default: #IMPLIED | | Note |

| Note | This element should be used wherever it is desired to record
an unusual space in the source text, e.g. space left for a word to be
filled in later, for later rubrication, etc. It is not intended to be
used to mark normal inter-word space or the like.
