Whitespace normalisation (was Re: NMTOKEN elements?)

There's a long-standing issue I've been asked to raise by my colleague
Richard Tobin, which is the general issue of whitespace normalisation
in attribute values -- the current draft doesn't talk about it wrt the
PSV infoset, and it should.

The issue Bob DuCharme raises about element vs. attribute is
particularly significant here, as presuming we do bring our handling
of e.g. NMTOKENS in to line with XML 1.0's/Infoset for attributes,
since we allow NMTOKENS for elements their PSVInfoset will change
between XML Schema and non-XML Schema processing.
