Description

When an element is included using the XPointer element scheme some text nodes are removed from the included element when they are preceded by an auto closing tag in the same including element. All the child nodes should be preserved when they are included using the XPointer element scheme.

For example: a.xml is

<a>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="b.xml" xpointer="element(/1/2/1)">
<xi:fallback>404</xi:fallback>
</xi:include>
</a>

and b.xml is:

<a>
<b/>
<c>
<d>
<e>will appear in result</e>
<f></f>
<g>
<h>If element f is auto closing tag his text does not appear in result</h>
</g>
</d>
</c>
</a>

The result of xi:include is correct:

<a>
<d xml:base="b.xml">
<e>will appear in result</e>
<f/>
<g>
<h>If element f is auto closing tag his text does not appear in result</h>
</g>
</d>
</a>

If I change <f></f> to <f/> in b.xml the result of xi:include is:

<a>
<d xml:base="b.xml">
<e>will appear in result</e>
<f/><g><h/></g></d>
</a>

and this is wrong.
