Hi BaseX Team, this may be a bug: I have an xml file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Test>foo <Inner/></Test> note the whitespace between the text foo and the node <Inner/>. Importing this into basex and running a query yields <Test>foo<Inner/></Test> without whitespace. Is there some kind of whitespace normalization going on during import? Can I set options that influence this behavior or is this a bug?
