It means that you can't tell from xml syntax as specified whether <x><a>z</a><b>z</b></x> means the same as <x> <a>z</a> <b>z</b> </x> you could assume it's always significant (which would never allow you to re-indent or otherwise re-format some xml) but in practice you need external knowledge of the vocabulary. in (x)html <p><b>z</b><i>z</i></p> is not the same as <p> <b>z</b> <i>z</i> </p> but <body><p>z</p><p>z</p></body> is the same as <body> <p>z</p> <p>z</p> </body> There is no syntactical (lexical) difference in the way white space content of p and body are marked up in html: the significance or otherwise of the space is specified in the processing of xhtml not in the way it is parsed.
