Testing the whitespace nodes

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm trying to test the text nodes taking into account the difference in the 
quantity of spaces.

Here's a sample scenario:

<scenario label="test">
    <call template="identity">
        <param name="content">
            <w:t>
                <space>  </space>
            </w:t>
        </param>
    </call>


    <expect>
        <w:t>
            <space>   </space>
        </w:t>
    </expect>
</scenario>

And the referenced template:

<xsl:template name="identity">
    <xsl:param name="content"/>

    <xsl:sequence select="$content"/>
</xsl:template>

I expect this test to fail but it's passed.

  Hi,

  Sorry for the late response...  Actually, this is on purpose.  We want the above test to succeed exactly for the same reason that we want the following test to succeed:

{{{
<scenario label="test">
   <call template="identity">
      <param name="content">
         <w:t>
            <text>Hello, world!</text>
         </w:t>
      </param>
   </call>
   <expect>
      <w:t>
         <text>Hello, world!</text>
      </w:t>
   </expect>
</scenario>
}}}

  But I found what I think is a bug, because I would say I'd like the following to fail:

{{{
<scenario label="test">
   <call template="identity">
      <param name="content">
         <w:t>
            <space xml:space="preserve"> </space>
         </w:t>
      </param>
   </call>
   <expect>
      <w:t>
         <space xml:space="preserve">     </space>
      </w:t>
   </expect>
</scenario>
}}}
