MarkLogic Server 4.0 only normalizes whitespace if there is a schema that says
that attribute should be normalized. This is a change from 3.2. Here is the
relevant section from the 4.0 release notes
(http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/books/relnotes.pdf) regarding this:
Attribute Whitespace No Longer Normalized
In 4.0 in all XQuery dialects, attribute whitespace is only normalized if the
attribute uses a schema type that includes whitespace normalization. In 3.2,
all attribute whitespace was normalized. The following illustrates this change:
fn:string(<my-element my-att=" hello there ">
content</my-element>/@*)
(: returns the string " hello there " in 4.0 and
returns the string "hello there" in 3.2 :)

Geert,
I tried your test case with 4.0-1 (and cq 4.0-1.1) on linux x86_64. The
whitespace was not trimmed, irrespective of the xmlspace setting, and
the result was:
<test att="bla bla " att2="bla2 bla2 "/>
