Attribute value normalization

| xp says that the type of the attribute "a" is CDATA. 

This is correct behaviour for a non-validating parser.

| Aelfred says that the attribute value is always "test test".  

This is correct behaviour for a validating parser. (xmlproc does the
same.)

| Lark and expat normalize some but not all. 

Hmmm. What do they do?

| Which one is correct? 

AElfred and XP are behaving correctly. (Provided XP normalizes the
attribute value correctly, that is.)
