The test reads the element text. It keeps a missing space after each of four commas. A single space sits between the two opening parentheses. A single space sits after contains( before the quote. A single space sits before each of three closing parentheses. Those single spaces are not a repeated space. The list includes 30 and ZZZ. The test does not call exists.",
