If you call normalize-space too early then you get the string value of
the nodes, which junks any element children.
So what you want to do is use apply-templates, then have a template
matching "text()" that just does <xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
That way you apply normalisation (with a z) to every text part of the
mixed content, but not to any element nodes.
