All, I found this sentence as part of annex D of XML Schema Part 1, which should back Merlin's opinion on the question wheter XML Schema changes the XML infoset input: "This specification does not require any destructive alterations to the input information set: all the information set contributions specified herein are additive." Considering this statement, I agree with Merlin: Xerces operates in error, if it provides the "normalized value" instead of the "initial value" for simple types in its DOM API. > http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#PSVI_contributions > (Contributions to the Post-Schema-Validation Infoset) > > This states that schema-normalized values contribute to the PSVI. > > http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#key-nv > > [Definition:] The normalized value of an element or attribute information > item is an initial value whose white space, if any, has been normalized > according to the value of the whiteSpace facet of the simple type > definition > used in its validation: > > Reading this, I don't think that the regular infoset, as exposed > by DOM, should be modified. We might be well served by asking a > schema person.
