Case insensitivity is probably too politically sensitive.
What's the lower case of I, or of SS ?

I am not sure an equal-up-to-normalize-space is what you want, as having
tested for equality normally you want to use the value, at which point
you often have to normalize anyway. What would perhaps be useful
is an analogue (for dsssl's like David) of process-children-trim
ie apply-templates-trim which just normalizes white space on everything
it touches before matching any templates. Alternatively a variation 
on xsl:strip-space which specifies elements whose text note children
should be normalized (rather than just stripped if completely white)
