Thanks for supplying the correct sequences.

Saxon currently "supports" a numbering sequence starting with any alphabetic
character, though many of these sequences are not especially useful. By
default, the sequence consists of all consecutive Unicode characters up to
the next non-alphabetic one. For example, a token of "x" gives you the
sequence "x", "y", "z", "xx", "xy", "xz" etc. While this might not be what
the above sentence envisaged, I believe this behaviour is conformant.
