Remarks

From the description in the W3C spec ( http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html):

Puts all Text nodes in the full depth of the subtree underneath this Node, including attribute nodes, into a "normal" form where only structure (for example, elements, comments, processing instructions, CDATA sections, and entity references) separates Text nodes—that is, there are neither adjacent Text nodes nor empty Text nodes. This can be used to ensure that the DOM view of a document is the same as if it were saved and reloaded, and is useful when operations (such as XPointer lookups) that depend on a particular document tree structure are to be used.
