     We think the solution for this issue is to include nulls in the
     white-space characters specification in 17.2.4.3 (a) (as previously suggested
     by Gord).
     
     Specifically, the text should read:
     
        a) White-space characters (blanks, tabs, new-lines, or form-feeds) that,
           except in one case described below, cause input to be read up to the
           next non-white-space character. For $sscanf, null characters shall
           also be considered white-space.
     
     Note that this change also effects null characters that are embedded within
     the string.
     
     I should have an example to illustrate this shortly.
