Actually, white space in element content is always passed to applications. xml:space has nothing to do with the behaviour of processors. xml:space merely provides a hint to applications. The word "significant" in the third para of 2.10 of the XML PR has to be changed. Validating processors must distinguish white space in element content from other white space and must signal to the application that white space appeared in element content. Applications will probably ignore such white space, but XPointer will not.
