    <thetext>3.7.1.4 says: [For the purpose of identifying boundary whitespace], characters
generated by character references such as &amp;#x20; or by CdataSections are not
considered to be whitespace characters.

So, conceptually at least, boundary whitespace must be handled before character
references and CdataSections are expanded. Therefore, I think 3.7.1.3 would be
slightly clearer if the handling of boundary whitespace were addressed by a
point between 1a and 1b, rather than a sentence in 1c. E.g.:

    b. If the boundary-space policy in the static context is &apos;strip&apos;,
       boundary whitespace is identified and deleted.

(I&apos;m pretty sure this would allow you to delete the boundary-space sentence in 1c.)</thetext>

    <thetext>On July 20, 2005, the XQuery working group accepted your suggestion. The 
suggested changes will be made (however, note that these changes will interact 
with another editorial suggestion that has caused the rules in Section 3.7.1.3 
to be renumbered.)</thetext>
