But I have a question about some behavior I am seeing in the
*following-sibling* axis that does not seem logical to me.
Here is the data stored in basex:

<text id="test">
<clause>
<word>A</word>a
<word>B</word>
<word>C</word>c
</clause>
</text>
Here is the query on that data:
> *xquery /text[@id='test']//word/concat(text(), ' ',
normalize-space(./following-sibling::text()[1]))*
A a
B *c*
C c
I think the result you get is caused by whitespace chopping during XML
parsing, seems to be the default, see
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Command-Line_Options
|-w| Toggles whitespace chopping of XML text nodes. By default,
whitespaces will be chopped.
