Dear all, First off: BaseX is great to work with. I use it for a few statically generated websites.
But I recently found what might be a bug.
Some whitespace vanishes when loading xml files. E.g. this xml file:
```test.xml
<a> a b <a> c </a> d e </a>
```
run like this:
doc('test.xml')
gives:
<a>a b<a>c</a>d e</a>
But running this:
```
parse-xml('<a> a b <a> c </a> d e </a>')
```
retains the whitespace.
I've tested this with BaseX 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 and 9.4.6.
Running this in saxon-he-10.3.jar retains the whitespace.
I can work around this issue by placing xml:space="preserve" in the document
element.
I cannot come up with a scenario in which discarding whitespace during is
parsing is ok when no DTD or XML Schema is provided.
Best regards,
Jos
