Fascinating!

David, would you please give an example of an XML leaf element that would result in the W3C DOM producing two adjacent text nodes? Would this leaf element:

<Test>abc def</Test>

result in the W3C DOM producing two adjacent text nodes?

What is the reasoning behind creating two adjacent text nodes?
