Actually, Peter, that link has nothing to do with the normalization of
text nodes in a DOM, which was, I think, the "normalization" in
question.

The link you have provided gives detail on "attribute value
normalization", which is the normalization of whitespace in attribute
values, not DOM text nodes. 

Of course, the normalization of test nodes in a DOM is a not a part of
the XML spec, it is a part of the DOM spec.

Check out the Node.normalize() method.
