Okay, big sorry, my error. :-(

Reading section 3 of the XML specification closely, point 2 is for elements 
only having children. So if you have #PCDATA, the spaces are indeed part of 
the #PCDATA.

(The 3rd edition of XML 1.0 is a little clearer, as it adds comments and 
processing instrcutions too, so it is clearly that it is not a sort of 
trick.)
