  Here's a twist on this issue.  Suppose that an element has an
  xml:space="preserve" attribute.  Do the line breaks in its content get
  normalized?

yes logically the normali{s|z}ation happens before parsing, so isn't
affected by XML syntax.


I can't see anything in the REC that would suggest that the end of line
normalisation is affected by xml:space.
