Section 3.7.1.3 Content	
Technical	

"Predefined entity references and character references are expanded into
their referenced strings, as described in 3.1.1 Literals.

Each consecutive sequence of literal characters evaluates to a single
text node containing the characters. However, if the sequence consists
entirely of boundary whitespace as defined in 3.7.1.4 Whitespace in
Element Content and the Prolog does not specify xmlspace = preserve,
then no text node is generated.": As in comment MS-XQ-LC1-082, we should
not expand whitespace entities before we apply whitespace
handling/normalization rules. Also, some of the XML element content
whitespace normalization rules are missing.
