I agree with you - there's a problem here. The results you are getting
from Saxon and other processors don't match the spec.
There seem to be quite a few tests in the W3C test suite, however, that
assume the behaviour you are seeing. So I'm going to raise it as a
specification bug to give the WG the opportunity to decide whether it
wants to change the spec or the tests.
