1.6 White-Space Processing
An ODF processor shall ignore all element children ([RNG] section 5, Data Model) that are strings consisting entirely of whitespace characters and that do not satisfy a text pattern of the ODF schema definition for the
element.
The whitespace characters are the following [XML 1.0] Unicode characters:
* HORIZONTAL TABULATION (U+0009)
* LINE FEED (U+000A)
* CARRIAGE RETURN (U+000D)
* SPACE (U+0020)
For all other occurrences of whitespace characters, treatment is in conformance with the provisions of [XML 1.0]. Any additional provisions to those of [XML 1.0] are included in the specifications of the elements where such provisions apply. See, for example, section 5.1.1.

> 34
> Description of issue
> It is stated that "In conformance with the W3C XML specification [XML1.0], optional white-space characters that are contained in elements that have element content (in other words that must contain elements only but not text) are ignored".
> * It is not clear what "optional white-space characters" are (the term is not defined in XML 1.0), or how the described behaviour conforms to XML 1.0.
> * Does the phrase "elements that have element content" mean elements that have only element content? This cannot make sense, as whitespace is itself text content.
> * Consider the markup <text:p><text:span>Hello</text:span> <text:span>world</text:span></text:p>. If processed according to the text above, the space between the words here would be ignored, yet no known ODF processor actually respects this provision.
> Proposal
> Reform the text to answer the above queries and modify the stated processing behaviour to accord with the existing corpus of documents and processors.
