I've changed it so the returns from queries can now have spaces to
the right of the colon if they aren't returning complete context names.
Obviously if they are returning context names, by the definition of
leaf-names they can't have spaces in the leaf-name.

The queries themselves can consist of anything (currently),
save that they must begin with a namespace and a colon.
