Michael,
In a meeting on 6/29/05, the Query Working Group considered your comment and 
decided that the following text in XQuery Section 3.7.1.4 is sufficiently 
clear: "For this purpose, characters generated by character references or by 
CDataSections are not considered to be whitespace characters." 

The result of your example expression is as follows:
<a>   {"abc"}</a>

The working group does not believe it is necessary to include this example in 
the XQuery specification. Since you labeled it as Editorial, I will mark the 
bug report as Closed.
