It's always useful to see some sample input.... so guessing that your
XML looks like this:

<PHONE TYPE=" ">

(some whitespace for the attribute value)

then you need to modify your test to be:

string(normalize-space(PHONE/@TYPE))

which gives the same result as just:

normalize-space(PHONE/@TYPE)

Have a look at:
