Would it be possible to get a normalize-mixed() that takes a sequence

nodes haven't been deleted?
There's quite a few edge ases here - what about cdata sections used
e.g. for code listings?
I realize that there's no reason not to write this as a user-defined
function; it's how often I wind up wanting it that makes me think it
might be something to consider as a language function.
A widely shared xml-document funtion library might be better, do you
think?
