[Bug 4641] [Ser] Document nodes should be replaced earlier

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4641

           Summary: [Ser] Document nodes should be replaced earlier
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Recommendation
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Serialization

The sequence normalization process described in section 2 of the serialization
spec claims to be the same as the process for constructing document nodes in
XSLT or XQuery. However, it isn't the same. XSLT, and XQuery after making the
change agreed in bug #3637, both replace document nodes by their contents
before deciding whether two atomic values are adjacent and therefore need to be
space-separated. This affects the outcome of XQuery test case
K2-ancestor-or-selfAxis-5, referenced in bug #4624.
