That is a bit vague, though:-(. I try to define it by

- adjacent whitespaces are collapsed into one space character
- leading and ending whitespace are removed (ie, the response would be
"Foo" in your example)

anything else??

_However_: I wonder whether this is the right thing to do for XML
Literals. I still think that copying the XML literal verbatim might be
the best option...
