'4) Sequences of (U+0020, SPACE) characters are replaced by a single (U+0020, SPACE) character.' -> '4) In sequences of (U+0020, SPACE) characters, all but the first in document order (U+0020, SPACE) in the sequence are removed.'

In ODF 1.2 it is not clear how the whitespaace in the following fragment should be collapsed.

a) <text><text:span>a </text:span>b</text>
b) <text><text:span>a</text:span> b</text>
