Обсуждение: docs: Validation error with xmllint 2.15.0

I just upgraded to libxml2 2.15.0 and now the docs no longer validate
with the following error when running make html:

    /usr/bin/xmllint --nonet --path . --path . --output postgres-full.xml --noent --valid postgres.sgml
    ref/pg_combinebackup.sgml:317: validity error : standalone: normalization of attribute linkend on xref by external
subsetdeclaration
 
       state of the cluster using <xref linkend="app-pgchecksums "/> is
                                                                  ^

Downgrading to libxml2 2.14.6 fixes the validation.  There's also an
unreleased fix [1] for this regression.  But I figure that it's best to
just remove the insignificant whitespace with the attached patch.

Agreed, not least because that makes all xref tags consistent in style which
has a value of its own. Will fix.
