Whitespace handling in XUpdate

Hi,

I'm finding that whitespace in my text() nodes is being stripped by the 
XUpdate process. I think I've tracked it down to 
org.exist.xupdate.XUpdateProcessor, whose startElement() and endElement() 
methods are explicitly stripping whitespace using 
charBuf.getNormalizedString(FastStringBuffer.SUPPRESS_BOTH) [and thereby 
making all my xml:space="preserve" attributes moot].

Why is XQueryProcessor doing BOTH of these: ignorableWhitespace() is 
ignoring whitespace AND explicitly stripping whitespace? I think the 
SUPPRESS_BOTH is not correct, as it overrides xml:space. Am I wrong? Is 
there a better way to preserve whitespace if requested, other than 
tracking all the xml:space attributes (they need to be stacked, as 
ancestors apply their settings to descendents, etc.)?

Luigi
