3.7.1.4 Boundary Whitespace

Example 5: '<a>{"  "}</a>'
"This example is equivalent to <a>  </a>, regardless of the boundary-space
policy,"
    No, if the boundary-space policy is 'strip', the two are not equivalent:
    the result of the former will have two spaces, but the result of the latter
    will not.

    I'm guessing you mean something like:
        "The example, under either boundary-space policy, has the same result as
        <a>  </a> *would* have in a world where boundary-whitespace is always
        preserved."
    but that's hardly clear.
