--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I've removed the final newline.

However, I don't think it was wrong. This test uses assert-xml, which is
defined like this:

The assertion is true if the result of parsing and canonicalizing the XML given
in the body of the assert-xml element is the same (byte-for-byte) as the result
of canonicalizing the XML result of the query. As an alternative to
canonicalizing, the results may be compared using the fn:deep-equal() function.

Under that definition, the trailing newline should not matter. Admittedly, it
becomes a problem when we are comparing XML fragments, but I think that is
quite rare and we should probably label those cases specially.

There are actually quite a few tests where you will need to be tolerant of
whitespace differences. I'm trying to remove them, but it will take time. I
would suggest first doing a comparison as in the spec, and if that fails,
attempting a second comparison after stripping whitespace text nodes from both
the actual and expected results.
