Yeah, when a DFDL property value takes a whitespace separated string or a
string that cannot contain whitespace, yet you want to supply it's value
from data, which might use whitespace characters in the value, there is a
function
dfdl:encodeDFDLEntities($arg)
If the $arg was say, a space character " ", that will be replaced by a DFDL
string literal "%SP;"
