CDATA and boundary white spaces

Michael, I've the impression that white spaces between a CDATA section and tag are treated as boundary white spaces. In Saxon 8.x <e><![CDATA[abc]]> </e> evaluates to <e>abc</e> where I would have expected <e>abc </e> Thanks, Marc

Michael, for completeness, the same issue seems to be there for xml comments, possibly also other node constructors. <e> <!-- comment --> </e> evaluates to <e><!-- comment --></e> Thanks, Marc

For comments I think the Saxon result is correct: in this case the spaces are indeed boundary whitespace, and should be stripped unless boundary whitespace is significant. MK
