This issue came up in Daffodil test.

Errata 2.11 Says:  Section 6.3. Clarify that literal white space is only ever used as list token separator, and
that entities must be used if literal white space is needed as part of the property value.

Question: does this apply to all string literals, or only those that are lists; and hence cannot use whitespace.

Can one write escapeBlockStart="[ START ]" or do I have to write escapeBlockStart="[%SP;START%SP;]"

I understand the requirement is needed for the lists, but we could choose to enforce it for all string literals if we want.
