That I do know, I've actually done a couple schemas in XML Schema and I've looked at RelaxNG and decided it was better but I haven't done anything with it. I thought, however, that without a schema the parser has no way of knowing whether the whitespace in an element is significant or not and therefore must treat it as significant but that whitespace normalization in attributes was ok. If you have a schema, then the processor can know that the whitespace is not significant and strip at will. I don't use xml on a regular basis (I use html and like Jeff I don't always want it to be xml because of browser quirks), so I don't have specific tooling for xml. I'll have to look at the xml tools and whatnot again when I get back into it. Thanks for the info.
