Yes, this precises the whole thing, I agree. But I still have some
questions.

Lines' problem can be resolved only at serialization time, but what
about spaces ? Should we correct them only at serialization ? (I don't
think so, because if you reopen the document it will be different.) And
if we correct them at edition time, or at the loading of the document,
what do we do when switching to "normalization mode" : normalize
everything, normalize nodes which are edited ? Maybe if the mode is
switched on we should normalize the whole document. (Excepted the
xml:space="preserve" case.)

Thanks,
