[XQZone General] Re: [XQZone Announce] MarkLogic Server 3.0 Hits The Street

[Jason Hunter]

Danny Sokolsky discussed this in some detail today during his "Upgrading 
and Application Incompatibilities" talk.  You should probably check out 
his slides (http://developer.marklogic.com/conference/2005/slides/).

Try his tip of "declare xmlspace=preserve" and see if that helps.  As I 
think someone told you at the conference reception, the new behavior is 
more conformant with the spec (darn it).
