List,
Occasionally an unexpected and unwanted space is inserted following the

500 such compounds, this occurs 30 times.

Produces, in relevant part, the following xml (wrapped for convenience):

Note the space after "few-" in the second line of the output text.
(The paragraph is a quotation from Theodore Parker's sermon "The Effect
of Slavery on the American People," delivered on July 4, 1858. It is
thought by many to be the inspiration for part of Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address.)
But it's not what happened: quite some folks in power have middle age
monarchic characteristics, oligarchies are around etc. Old institutions
(that probably root deeply in mankind0 are just better in pretending to
be different.
Anyway fixed in next beta (but you need to keep an eye on disc side
effects.
