Strips space before sorting datatype="text".

           Summary: Strips space before sorting datatype="text".
           Product: XalanJ2
           Version: 2.4
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Xalan
        AssignedTo: xalan-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: graeme.st.clair@hds.com


XALAN seems to strip space out of an element before sorting on it.  XSLT 3.4 
says "Initially, the set of whitespace-preserving element names contains all 
element names."  I am not using either strip- or preserve-space.

Results are sorted on <catalog>, but in the order 17, 4, 6.  The included 
blanks are intended to produce 4, 6, 17.
