According to a message from Dieter Guthmann on xmlschema-dev today, at least
one product (Liquid XML Studio) has interpreted the rules for
whiteSpace=collapse to mean that if the input consists entirely of space
characters, it is normalized to a single space.
The definition of "collapse" in 4.3.6 relies on the interpretation of the
undefined terms "leading" and "trailing", which means that this reading of the
spec cannot be dismissed as perverse. (Can one be a leader if one has no
followers?)
A more rigorous definition might be:
collapse:
After the processing implied by replace, contiguous sequences of #x20's are
collapsed to a single #x20, and any #x20 at the start or end of the string is
then removed.
