 * <p>
 * An normalizedString simply is a string where all the carriage return,
 * linefeed, and tab characters have been normalized (switched to) ordinary
 * space characters.  Use normalizedString for long strings to make them
 * insensitive to line breaking.  If you wish to often be insensitive to

 * (aka {@link XmlToken}) instead.
 * <p>
 * Convertible to {@link String}.  When obtaining the stringValue, the
 * whitespace-normalized value is returned.
