[Bug xml/26322] New: AElfred: Newline reference in attribute value is wrongly normalized

[mike at saxonica dot com]

A newline written as a character reference (& # x 0 a ;) in an attribute value
is wrongly normalized to a single space. This is illustrated by the following
XSLT 2.0 stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:variable name="endline" select="'&#x0a;'"/>

<xsl:template name="main">
<out><xsl:value-of select="string-to-codepoints($endline)"/></out>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

When this is parsed using AElfred (and run using Saxon, no source document
required) it produces the incorrect output 

<out>32</out>

showing that the newline has been replaced by a space.
