we seem to be talking at cross purposes. if you set
preservewhitespace=true the problem (mainly) goes away as I mentioned
several times, including the message that you quoted.

However in the original use case for XML: serving XML with an XML (not
HTML) Mime type to a browser, to be styled with XSLT on the client,
IE parseres the document with msxml's default mode which has this
property set to false, and offers no API to change that. So you lose
white space.
