Description
The default for Feature.STRIP_WHITESPACE is documented as ignorable but since Saxon 9.8, the value returned by
Configuration config = new Configuration();
config.getConfigurationProperty(Feature.STRIP_WHITESPACE);
is "none"
It looks as if the change wasn't intended.
ParseOptions.getStripSpace() returns Whitespace.IGNORABLE if the spaceStrippingRule is null (its initial value),
but Configuration.getConfigurationProperty() switched to calling ParseOptions.getSpaceStrippingRule() in 9.8; this returns null, which getConfigurationProperty() interprets as meaning "none".
