--- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I guess one possible rationale for putting mixed="true" here is that it makes
it legitimate to take the atomizing value of the fn:analyze-string element, for
example one can do:

substring-before(fn:analyze-string, (fn:analyze-string//fn:group[@nr='1']))

to get the text before the first captured group. (Atomizing an element with
element-only content is not allowed, for paternalistic reasons.) I don't think
that's a strong enough argument; though we might choose here to remain
bug-compatible with 3.0.
