(Originally reported by Dana F.)

Should we remove the data model constraint that requires that adjacent text
nodes are not allowed and should be merged? This constraint has negative
consequences during updates (in case of deletes or inserts). In such cases, if
the data model after the update has adjacent nodes it is unclear how to handle
correctly the node identifiers while satisfying the XDM  constraint.
