 P.S. I have read the XML 1 spec concerning whitespace, but this seems to contain a logical contradiction. Viz: "An XML processor must always pass all characters in a document that are not markup through to the application. A validating XML processor must also inform the application which of these characters constitute whitespace appearing in element content. ... xml:space...attached to an element to signal an intention that in that element, white space should be preserved by applications. In valid documents, this attribute, like any other must be declared if it is used... The value "default" signals that applications' default white space processing modes are acceptable for this element..." This is then opposed to the value "preserve" which preserves whitespace for the element. Which suggests that the default processing is normalization of whitespace. But according to the first line above, the default XML processing is preservation of whitespace. So what is the default mode of the processor? Preserve or not?
