I dont' understand why the base type of token as defined in the xml schema definition is "normalizedString" instead of "string" .
<simpleType name="token">
<restriction base="normalizedString">
<whiteSpace value = "collapse" />
</restriction>
</simpleType>

<simpleType name="normalizedString">
<restriction base="string">
<whiteSpace value = "replace" />
</restriction>
</simpleType>

to me it seems that the definition of 'token' could have been
<simpleType name="token">
<restriction base="string">
<whiteSpace value = "collapse" />
</restriction>
</simpleType>
why was it not defined this way instead ???
