I can only guess that the autowrapping was intended to allow logicsheets
match="xsp:text/text()" for text content and match="text()" for program
code. It remains a mystery to me why none of the builtin logicsheets
actually uses this.
Removing the autowrapping may break a few custom logicsheets depending
on this, but since it is a rather obscure feature nowhere mentioned in
the user docs, I am +1 for dropping the autowrapping. Is does indeed
make logicsheet input more predictable.
Cheers, Alfred.
