Almost but not quite. That text describes what happens if you serialize a sequence of nodes, which never happens in XSLT - in XSLT you always serialize a single document node. But the serializer spec is mimicking the XSLT specification for what happens when you form the content of a document or text node, which is described in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#constructing-complex-content The important difference is that the spaces are part of the result tree, they are not simply added during serialization.
