It's helpful if you post actual code, rather than a description of it, as I'm not sure whic case you are in It _sounds_ like you are doing normalize-space(("aaa","bbb","ccc")) applying the function to a sequence. In XPath 2 (native mode) that is an error as normalize-space expects a single string If you are in backward compatibility mode (ie have version="1.0" in scope) then the effect is to discard all but the first item of the sequnce and normalize that, so you'd get "aaa". the function for converting a sequence to a strng is string-join string-join(("aaa","bbb","ccc"),"=") produces the string "aaa=bbb=ccc" > As a side note, there is no way to globally say 'all my xml > attribute/elements should have normalize space'. not on input, but on output, you can have templates such as <xsl:template match="@*"> <xsl:attribute name="name()" select="normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="text()"> <xsl:value-of select=""normalize-space(.)"/> </xsl:template> which will make the default templates on attributes and text normalize space.
