SECTION 4.10: xmlspace declaration

The keyword "xmlspace" suggests a connection with the xml:space
attribute.  The user might get the idea that "declare xmlspace
preserve" causes an explicit or implicit xml:space='preserve'
attribute in every element constructor, and "declare xmlspace
strip" causes an explicit or implicit xml:space='default'
attribute in every element constructor.  I don't think this is
your intention; I think you intend that the user must explicitly
generate any xml:space attributes, just as the user must 
explicitly generate any other attributes. Some keyword other than
xmlspace would be preferable, perhaps "boundaryspace" or
"boundary space".
