In the XML Query Requirements
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlquery-req-20000815),
in section B.1.4
(http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlquery-req-20000815#section-Sample-Data-for-Q5),
in the reviews.xml document, there is a space character at the beginning
of the character content of the first two <title> elements:

    <title> Data on the Web</title>
    <title> Advanced Programming ...</title>
    <title>TCP/IP Illustrated</title>

Was this intentional? If so, the expected results for Q5 (in B.1.9.5)
imply that the leading space should be ignored.
