RE: running msxml3 from command line

Mike,

You're right, my interpretation was wrong.  I'm glad this came up.  I'll fix
this for the next release.

Interesting interpretation! Are you relying on Appendix B (which uses a
notation that is not formally specified) or Appendix C (which is
non-normative)? Or is there something in the text that I missed?

I can't see anything in the XML spec that says xml:space="preserve"
overrides the normal rule that an element with element content (as distinct
from mixed content) may validly contain whitespace between the child
elements.
