ORA-XQ-146-Q: what is the difference between ws:explicit and ws:significant?

SECTION A.2.1: white space rules

It is hard to understand the distinction between /* ws:explicit */
and /* ws:significant */.  For example, rule [106] CDataSection
and rule [108] XmlComment have been labeled /* ws:significant */,
whereas rule [107] XmlPI is labeled /* ws:explicit */.  I don't
see any difference between these three things from the standpoint 
of the XML 1.0 Recommendation.  What distinction are you trying to
make here?
