comments stops parsing text string in default case

[jmgnc]

If you use the following input:

<root>\"
<!-- &#x8; -->
<!-- &#xc; -->
&#xd;
&#x9;
</root>

and run the following:

java -cp lib/saxon/saxon9.jar net.sf.saxon.Transform t.xml conf/xml-to-json.xsl

You'll get:

{
    "root": [
        "\\\"\n",
        {
            "": null
        },
        {
            "": null
        }
    ]
}

where as if you move the comments to after the character entities, you'll get:

    "root": [
        "\\\"\n\r\n\t\n",
        {
            "": null
        },
        {
            "": null
        }
    ]
}

With the CR and HT both properly in the output.

It may be converted to this JSON

{
  "root": {
    "#text": "\\\"\n",
    "#comment": "  ",
    "#comment1": "  "
  },
  "#omit-xml-declaration": "yes"
}
