[whatwg] Still more comments and questions on Web Apps 1.0

At least, MSXML does not preserve white space even where mixed content is
allowed.  I get <span >a</span ><span >b</span > when I XSLT <span >a</span
> <span >b</span >.  I have to type &#32; for all standalone spaces.

I don't think XML does that, actually.
