It doesn't even have to be mixed content; the information could be
represented without the added whitespace.  The key here is that you're
relying on document order to convey information, i.e. treating the
components of a name as a list rather than a set.

Of course, you may need even more complicated structures, not all of which
can be simply concatenated:

<name><given>Enrique</given><middle>Jose</middle>
<family><matronym>Martin</matronym><patronym>Morales</patronym></family>
<stage><first>Ricky</first><last>Martin</last></stage></name>
