We do have a section on White-space. So maybe something like this:

[[
Default value:

	For data:
		'preserve'. Note also that the 'default' value is to be interpreted as 'preserve' for the data content (See section
4.7.5 White Spaces).

	Other elements:
		The default value is inherited from the closest ancestor defining xml:space. If no ancestor specify xml:space the
default is 'default'.
]]
