where did my white space go?

Dear eXistentialists,
I've run into a problem with disappearing white space and I'd be grateful for advice. My test source document (test.xml) looks like: ----[begin source document]---- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <glossary xml:space="preserve"> <entry><ocs>one</ocs> <ocs>two</ocs> <ocs>three</ocs> <ocs>four</ocs> <ocs>five</ocs> <ocs>six</ocs> I, me</entry> </glossary> ----[end source document]---- Note that the <entry> element contains mixed content and there are white-space text nodes between the <ocs> elements in the source document (as well as one final text node that also contains non-white-space characters). My test xquery looks like the following: ----[begin xquery]---- xquery version "1.0"; let $hits := for $i in document("/db/ocs/test.xml")//entry[.//ocs[matches(.,'one')]] return $i return <html> <head> <title>title goes here</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/> </head> <body> <dl> {for $i in $hits return (<dt>{$i/ocs[1]}</dt>, <dd>{$i/node()}</dd>)} </dl> </body> </html> ----[end xquery]---- My intention in the <dd> output was to copy both the <ocs> nodes and the text() nodes (including white-space text() nodes) between and around them. (In a subsequent xslt transformation I'll rewrite the <ocs> elements as something valid in html, but for the moment I've left them in.) The output from eXist is: ----[begin output]---- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html><head><title>OCS glossary search report</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/></head><body><dl><dt><ocs>one</ocs></dt><dd><ocs>one</ocs><ocs>two</ocs><ocs>three</ocs><ocs>four</ocs><ocs>five</ocs><ocs>six</ocs> I, me</dd></dl></body></html> ----[end output]---- Note that although the last text node (which reads " I, me") is reproduced correctly, the original white-space text nodes between the <ocs> elements are gone. Can anyone advise me on how I can get them to come through the query?

Please edit conf.xml and change the parameter preserve-whitespace-mixed-content="no" to "yes". Actually, this should be set to "yes" by default (which I again forgot to do in the 1.2.1 release). Also, xml:space="preserve" should normally overwrite all other settings. This looks like a bug.
