Description

Some file formats use a direct dispatch key that may contain spaces. The dfdl:choiceBranchKey property is a space separated list of keys, but individual keys can contain spaces via the %SP; character entity. Note that character classes should not be allowed.

This is currently not allowed, with choiceDispatchKey complaining when the result of the expression contains a space.
