Should this also be true if the XML-SPACE attribute is set to DEFAULT for
the CML element?

What would be the result of the following cases? Should there also be three
pieces of PCDATA, since PCDATA can be an empty string? ([16] PCData::= [^<&]*)

<CML><XVAR>\nThis is a variable\n</XVAR></CML>

And what about this one:

<CML><XVAR></XVAR></CML>

This is probably some pretty stupid questions, but ... :')
