Riyafa Abdul Hameed commented on VXQUERY-189:
---------------------------------------------
Thank you. That makes it very clear. As I understand by going through the
specification for sequence normalization [1], vxquery currently seem to have
not followed step3 correctly where it says: "For each subsequence of adjacent
strings in S2, copy a single string to the new sequence equal to the values of
the strings in the subsequence concatenated in order, each separated by a
single space."
This change has to be made as you have clearly explained.
I will try to go through the source code and try to understand it and make the
necessary changes if that is possible.

> Current implementation of the serializer uses a new line(\n) character to
> separate the values in a sequence when printing them. In some cases it is
> necessary to have a single whitespace between values. It is essential to find
> out where the new line is introduced and to decide in which cases we want a
> single-space and in which one a new line is preferable.
> For an example consider the function fn:tokenize():
> The expected result for fn:tokenize("The cat sat on the mat", "\s+") is:
> The cat sat on the mat
> But the result generated and printed on the console is:
> The
> cat
> sat
> on
> the
> mat
> which is incorrect.
