In an XML document everything is markup. Are you making a distinction
between text markup as an attribute of an element and text marked up as
the PCDATA child of an element?
I am fairly sure that you would make a distinction between a text marked
up by an element that represents a character (a <space/> element rather
than simply a space character). I am not sure why this would
troublesome as long as the two are defined to equivalent. Can you
explain?
The character "a" when used represents a logical character that is
converted to a different glyph when rendered. No matter what you encode
in an XML document it will all converted to a presentation
representation when rendered.
