Hi,
Thanks for the update.
When we run the below Xpath query on an another application (XMLSpy),
it ignores the first node (containing white spaces)
and returns the count as 4.
The Microsoft XSLT processor strips all whitespace text nodes from the
source tree before transforming it. Perhaps XMLSpy is relying on that
processor.
We would like to request if it is safe to assume that the mentioned
application handles this scenario independently and not as part of
implementation of neither of XML nor XPath specifications.
You will have to ask Altova that question, not me.
