I would like to add that currently the XML is not accompanied by a DTD or XML
Schema. It seems to me the attribute values are then treated as CDATA.

Hello friends,
I maybe tasked with XSL-transforming some XML into a publishable version, but
I shuddered as soon as I saw the input (coming from a custom-built Web CMS).
It is something like the following with significant line feeds in attribute
values:
<items>
<item name="address" data="
Company Name
Street Address
ZIP City
Country
" />
</items>
I have seen and dealt with line feeds in element content, but this time an
alarm clock rang in my head. Am I right in my interpretation of the XML
standard that attribute content must be normalized by a conforming XML parser
and therefore it would never be possible to write an XSL to locate line feeds
in attribute values?

This would give me a strong and invincible reason to tell the CMS programmers
to change their stuff.
