Ugh! Are spaces in in entity names normalized by the parser?
<foo>&#LOWERCASE
PHI;
</foo>

This will cause endless discussions whether this impairs performance
too much, increases complexity unduly and so on.
OTOH, if you allow only exactly one U+0020, then unsuspecting
user *will* be trapped by automatic line wrapping.
Let's stick with the rules we have.
