      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.
