Actually, even nomalize-space() does not quite do it because it
collapses all the whitespace down to one space, resulting in
Alabama<space>
Isn't this a trailing space, which will be removed??
This still won't match "Alabama", but
contains(.,$state)
will work.
After that, as Mike and Danny say, some redesign will probably be a good
idea, either of the source or the stylesheet.
Cheers,
