Attribute | value normalization by the parser rarely goes as far as XPath's | normalize-space does. True, and arguably normalize-space doesn't go far enough either (though enough for XPath only). The basic distinction between CDATA and the other declared value types has to do with (white-space delimited) tokenization. XML 1.0 missed the boat here, in that tokenization still needs information from the DTD. We might have dedicated the LITA delimiters (single quotes) for this as a purely syntactic distinction, for instance.
