Technical question concerning DOM & whitespace

Using IBM XML4J version 3.01, I get a lot of extra textnodes containing nothing
but whitespace when parsing an indented XML document without validation with an
org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser. I tried
parser.setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(false); // and
parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace",

false);
without preventing those whitespace nodes.

Is there a more elegant solution than afterwards traversing the tree and delete
them?

Thank you very much.
