Description Tim Mills 2011-07-25 12:19:24 UTC 
These two examples use a source document (ftbookexample) with a schema (ftbookexamplexsd).  The document element (book) is complex content, so the boundary whitespace shouldn't be appearing in the expected results.

examples-222-q2
examples-222-q3
Comment 1 Mary Holstege 2011-07-28 14:23:30 UTC 
Personal response:

I disagree. The whitespace comes from the content, not from an XQuery constructor, so boundary whitespace setting is irrelevant. There is no reason
to believe that the whitespace is stripped from the content or from the serialization.
Comment 2 Tim Mills 2011-07-28 14:31:52 UTC 
I'm not referring to the XQuery boundary whitespace setting (which is indeed irrelevant).

The source document (ftbookexample) contains whitespace.  When the content is parsed and validated, the (insignificant) whitespace is discarded in the (element-only) book element.  

It should therefore not appear in the expected results.
Comment 3 Tim Mills 2013-08-14 08:27:25 UTC 
There is a similar problem in examples-23-q3 - specifically examples-23-q3-alt.txt.
