Spaces in attribute-enumeration?

Hello,

is it possible to declare an attribute of type enumeration which
contains spaces in its possible values?
Something like:
<!ELEMENT elem EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST elem  attr1  (a | b | c | d | e )  #IMPLIED >

but instead of 'a' 'a house' ...

Bye, Thomas

Unfortunately this is impossible with DTD, cause the Enumeration type is a
list of NMtokens:

      Nmtoken    ::=    (NameChar)+


NameChar doesn't include white spaces.

However, I believe Schema allows you to do this.
