F&O Constructors and whitespace processing

Hi,

It is unclear to me from the rec whether the
constructors for the XML Schema types process
whitespace like an XML Schema processor would.  For
example, is xs:integer("  12   ") valid?

How about xs:token("  many     spaces   ")?
Would that become "many spaces"?

I know a schema processor would collapse the
whitespace, but would a query processor?  It might be
helpful to have a note on that either way.

Thanks,
John
