Description Richard Tobin for XML Core WG 2005-05-03 14:29:04 UTC 
6.7.1
"When a Document or Element Node is constructed, Text Nodes that would
be adjacent are combined into a single Text Node. If the resulting
Text Node is empty, it is never placed among the children of its
parent, it is simply discarded."  This does not seem to be a statement
about data models, but rather a constraint on languages that create
them.  Is that the intention?  If so, it should be phrased as a MUST
or SHOULD.  Or is it intended to modify the description of text node
construction in 6.7.3?
Comment 1 Norman Walsh 2005-06-03 16:09:53 UTC 
Fixed. It should be a MUST.
