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.
