>From the datatypes spec: 

"integer has the following constraining facets: 
... 
whiteSpace 
..." 

and... 

"[Definition:] A constraining facet is an optional property that can be applied 
to a datatype to constrain its value space." 

So, does the whitespace facet constrain the *value space* of integer somehow?
