ORA-XQ-102-B: Ignorable whitespace is not defined

SECTION 2.6.6: must-know extensions

Definition, last sentence: A must-understand extension may be 
used anywhere that ignorable whitespace is allowed."
The term "ignorable whitespace" is not defined.  Section 2.6.5
"Pragmas" has a similar sentence, but at least it is followed
immediately by the statement "See A.2 Lexical structure for the 
exact lexical states where pragmas are recognized" which effectively
defines the term for that context, but that sentence limits itself
to pragmas and does not apply to must-know extensions.  There is
a similar sentence in 3.1.6 "Xquery comments", which again is
self-limited to just ExprComments.
