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?

You would need a character reference e.g. to denote a line break
in an attribute value. A literal white space character would be
normalized to a space.
