[oXygen-user] Xpath and Saxon return tabs as text

Wed Sep 3 02:38:40 CDT 2008

Dear Oxygen-Users,

i am having a problem with an indented XML File. The File looks like  
this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<TEI xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://www.i-d-e.de/ns/1.0 
">
     <teiHeader>
         <fileDesc>
             <titleStmt>
                 <title>MS Einsiedeln</title>
             </titleStmt>
             <publicationStmt>
                 <p>publicationsStmt empty</p>
             </publicationStmt><sourceDesc>
                 <p>sourceDesc empty</p>
             </sourceDesc></fileDesc>
     </teiHeader>
     <text>
         <body>
             <div>
                 <div>
                     <div>
                         <p><c>D</c>ie gotheit iſt beſloſſen<lb/>in  
dem vater n<ex>atur</ex>elich
                                 dar<lb/>vmbe iſt er alvermvgende<lb/ 
 >vnd enpfat niht von ite<lb
                                 />des<gap reason=""/> er ſelber nit  
en iſt an<lb/>ſiner go<unclear
                                 >tl</unclear>icher macht wan<lb/>ers  
weſelich i<ex>n</ex> ime vnd
                                 an<lb/>ime ſelben beſloſſen  
hat<space unit="letters" quantity="1"
                         /></p>
		   </div>
	     </div>
        </div>
     </body>
   </text>
</TEI>

Now, using the following XPath 2.0 expression: //text(), the tabs are  
returned as text-nodes, for example the first tab before the tag  
<teiHeader>. In fact, my DTD does not allow #PCDATA inside <TEI>, but  
the document is validated without any problems. To me this seems kind  
of schizophrenic, or am I mistaken? Btw: the same file in XMLSpy with  
its build-in xslt engine as well as MS XML parser with the same xPath  
expression does not return the tabs as text-nodes.

Any ideas?
Philipp

PS: I am using Oxygen 9.3
