Hi Wendell,
"normalize-space(text())" will do the same without copying the text
nodes into the variable first, if that's what you're asking.
that is exactly the point, it does not do the same thing without copying!
Oops, you are correct! I forgot the single-node semantics of
normalize-space().
In XPath 2.0:
normalize-space(string-join(text(),''))
In XPath 1.0 you're stuck, just as you feared.
Cheers,
Wendell
