I don't think that the fact that XInclude processors don't normalize the value of the parse attribute is made explicit anywhere in the spec, but OK. Bear in mind that describing parse as an enumerated attribute in the DTD has the same implications regarding whitespace as basing its value on xs:token in the schema.
