6.7.3, content
Why is the construction of text nodes consisting only of whitespace in
element content not described in terms of the [element content
whitespace] property?  Also note that only validating parsers are
required to return this information.  And it should be mentioned that
this is a big change from XPath 1.0, which did not remove element
content whitespace.
