But won't match, as I believe was intended, "JohnEllsworth".

But won't match, as I believe was intended, "Angola&Mozambique".

The problem we have in revised TS is that we're handling
spaces in each substrings in the same way we handle them
in attribute values. This leads to odd behavior.

What we need to do is treat spaces in substrings in
relationship to other substrings and the attribute
value.
