    <thetext>Under the section on whitespace rules, we say &quot;an XPath&quot;, whereas we normally say &quot;an XPath expression&quot;, or &quot;an XPath 3.1 expression&quot; (or processor, error etc).

Under section A.2.4.1 Default Whitespace Handling:

&quot;Ignorable whitespace characters are not significant to the semantics of an expression. Whitespace is allowed before the first terminal and after the last terminal of an XPath.&quot;

I suggest we end the sentence as something like &quot;after the last terminal of an XPath 3.1 production.&quot;</thetext>

    <thetext>&gt; I suggest we end the sentence as something like &quot;after the last terminal of
&gt; an XPath 3.1 production.&quot;

That would be either incorrect or dangerously close to it. For example, whitespace is not allowed after an instance of the BracedURILiteral production (because BracedURILiteral occurs in productions marked &quot;ws: explicit&quot; that don&apos;t allow whitespace after it).

I think it would be fine if we just changed &quot;an XPath&quot; to &quot;an XPath expression&quot;.</thetext>

&gt; I think it would be fine if we just changed &quot;an XPath&quot; to &quot;an XPath
&gt; expression&quot;.
Sounds good to me.</thetext>
