RE: losing significant whitespace-only text nodes in

Francis,

If you're stuck with MSXML, there's a useful explanation of its default
whitespace behaviour spread over several pages starting at:
[http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/e8b00d48-e9f5-4a25-a650-71c284bb3f3a.asp]

Basically, you need to set the preserveWhiteSpace property of your XML
DomDocument object to true. There's an explanation of that at:

HTH,

Nick.
