> Will this attribute be normalised if it contains any whitespace?
If it is declared CDATA, the only whitespace normalization is that
carriage-returns, line-feeds and tabs are normalized to spaces (with a CR+LF
being normalized to only a single space)
Only if it were *not* CDATA would multiple spaces be normalized to one.

As long as the filename didn't contain a < or & that you include literally.
