Yes, exactly.

Yet another thought:

XHTML 1.0 states in section 3.2:
The XHTML user agent in addition, must treat the following characters as
whitespace: 

         Form feed () 
         Zero-width space (​)

However, the form feed character is not valid XML character.
See section 2.2 of the XML 1.0 spec
[2] Char ::=  #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF]
              | [#xE000-#xFFFD]
              | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]

so, it seems rather an error than white space.
