I believe that the query in functx-fn-data-5 returns: " 557 Fleece Pullover navy black " The test case contains the assertion (on a single line): <assert-string-value normalize-space="true">557 Fleece Pullover navy black</assert-string-value> The test suite documentation says that, "If the normalize-space attribute is present with the value true, then the value of the assert-string-value element should be processed as if by the XPath normalize-space() function before the comparison." I believe that the test case should fail as written. It appears to assume that the normalize-space() function is applied to the actual result value.
I think the documentation of the test suite is incorrect. The intention was that normalize-space should cause both values to be normalized before the comparison. I propose to change the documentation to record this fact.
