Parser assumes whitespaces between paths

[Google Code Exporter]

The parser seems to require too many whitespaces between path steps

Example:

Works:
//tm:subject / tm:name

Does not work:
//tm:subject /tm:name
//tm:subject/ tm:name
//tm:subject/tm:name

Expected:
All of the path expressions should work and yield the same result

Tested with 2.6.5 and 3.1
