Possible clarification in office/v1.2/cos01/part1/6.1.2 about whitespace...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-3706
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3706
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Text
            Reporter: Ben Martin 
            Priority: Minor


  I was recently hacking on some ODT import code an was clarifying white
space handling with respect to text:p in the spec. 

Looking at the steps shown in 6.1.2:

2) The character data of the paragraph element and of all descendant
elements for which the OpenDocument schema permits the inclusion of
character data for the element itself and all its ancestor elements up
to the paragraph element, is concatenated in document order.

4) Sequences of " " (U+0020, SPACE) characters are replaced by a single
" " (U+0020, SPACE) character.

Consider the following contrived example:

<text:p>Hi there <text:span>foo </text:span> bar</text:p>

This would seem to mean that (2) would give
"Hi there foo  bar"
and the application of (4) would then make
"Hi there foo bar"

If so, logically is the space in the text:span to be removed or the one
before the "bar". It seems OpenOffice 3.3.0 removes the second of the
two spaces. That is, if the span containing foo is bold, then the single
remaining space is bold too in an ODT file saved out of OO again.

I assume this is the desired behaviour?
