That’s true, every query processor uses custom indentation algorithms; the specification gives much freedom here [1]. If indentation is important, it’s always recommendable to either preserve the original formatting or use xml:space='preserve' for mixed-context sections. I’ll never be happy with the decision in XML to lump together indentation of structure and content. [1] https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization-31/#xml-indent
