<p>OK, how about this.<br>
<br>
When retrieving individual values from the documenting if there is any whitespace, it is collapsed into one space, and leading and trailing white space is NOT removed.<br>
<br>
After the values have been concatenated to create the final value, if there is any whitespace, it is collapsed into one space, and leading and trailing whitespace IS removed.<br>
<br>
So all of these:<br>
<br>
<fn><br>
<value>John</value><br>
<value> </value><br>
<value>Doe</value><br>
</fn><br>
<fn><br>
<value>John</value><br>
<value> </value><br>
<value>Doe</value><br>
</fn><br>
<fn><br>
<value> John</value><br>
<value> </value><br>
<value>Doe </value><br>
</fn><br>
<fn><br>
<value>John </value><br>
<value> </value><br>
<value> Doe</value><br>
</fn><br>
<fn><br>
<value>John </value><br>
<value> Doe</value><br>
</fn><br>
<fn><br>
<value> John </value><br>
<value> Doe </value><br>
</fn><br>
<br>
become <br>
<br>
|John Doe|<br>
<br>
but this:<br>
<br>
<fn><br>
<value>John</value><br>
<value>Doe</value><br>
</fn><br>
<br>
becomes<br>
<br>
<br>
|JohnDoe|<br>
<br>
Does that sound right?<br>
