In the TextRecorder.java, I see the following:

public void characters(char ary[], int start, int length)
    throws SAXException {
        String value = new String(ary, start, length).trim();
        if (value.length() > 0) {
            buffer.append(value);
        } else {
            buffer.append(' ');
        }
    }

I am wondering what the logic behind having the trim() in there is.
Several times I have noticed Cocoon "eating" spaces out of the stream as
evidenced in this log:

<sched:start>03/28/2003 04:05 PM</sched:start>

is what is supposed to be being passed to the next transformer, but
instead, it is showing up in two different [characters] events, and
because of the trim(), it ends up being put back together as
"03/28/200304:05 PM" which is invalid.

I was just wondering why the trim() is in there, or if what I am seeing
is expected behavior.

thanks,
