4.7.1.4 Whitespace in Element Content "Section 3.7.1.4 Boundary Whitespace describes how whitespace in element and attribute constructors is processed" Delete "and attribute". "depending on the value of the xmlspace declaration in the query prolog." s/xmlspace/boundary-space/ "the Formal Semantics" s/the/The/ "assumes that the rules for handling whitespace are applied prior to normalization rules, for example, during parsing of a query." This weakens the FS, in my opinion. See Bug 1629.
Fixed #1 #2 #3 as suggested. #4 is not of editorial nature. The working group has decided not to formally specify that aspect of element construction. - Jerome
Re #4... "The Formal Semantics assumes that the rules for handling whitespace are applied prior to normalization rules, for example, during parsing of a query." This is no longer true (in the 2006-06 CR), so change "prior to normalization rules, ..." to something like "by the (informally defined) auxiliary rule []_DirCharsUnit."
Fixed. - Jerome
