I understand this.  That's why it's a should, not a must.  It's just
making it more explicit.

Not really.  The only perk is that it makes text (that is, XML-unaware)
comparisons work a little better when comparing them with the output of
Xalan (and Saxon), which I often do to test my stylesheet code.

If you decide that you don't want to implement this, that's okay.  I
figured it was an improvement overall with no real downsides and
something that it would take me all of fifteen minutes to fix, so I did
it.
