Bug #3885

**SUMMARY**: A user workload showed performance regression of about 25% from Saxon 8.9 to Saxon 9.8. The result of investigation showed that although whitespace was being stripped from the source tree during document building, an unnecessary space-stripping wrapper was being added over the source tree, slowing down all navigation within the tree.
