If the stylesheet specifies version="1.0", then normalize-space() will process the first string in the sequence and ignore the others. If it specifies version="2.0", then you will get a type error. > What's is this function that convert sequence of strings > into string ? You can apply normalize-space to every string in a sequence (returning a sequence of normalized strings) in the usual way: for $i in $seq return normalize-space($i). If you want to combine a sequence of strings into a single string, use string-join(). > > As a side note, there is no way to globally say 'all my xml > attribute/elements should have normalize space'. Yes there is: you can declare their types in a schema to derive from xs:token, and use schema-aware XSLT processing. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
