Interesting interpretation! Are you relying on Appendix B (which uses a
notation that is not formally specified) or Appendix C (which is
non-normative)? Or is there something in the text that I missed?

I can't see anything in the XML spec that says xml:space="preserve"
overrides the normal rule that an element with element content (as distinct
from mixed content) may validly contain whitespace between the child
elements.
