Mike Beckerle commented on DAFFODIL-2346:
-----------------------------------------
Per some discussion of a testing problem, the following is now the suggested
resolution.
A tunable parameter will be added to Daffodil to chose between the current XML
output behavior and the creation of pretty printer safe XML output.
A Wiki Proposal for control and output of pretty printer safe XML is here:
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DAFFODIL/Proposal%3A+Pretty+Print+Safe+XML+Output]
> XML Output needs option to use <![CDATA[ ]]> around simple element values
> containing whitespace.

> Key: DAFFODIL-2346
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2346
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Back End
> Affects Versions: 2.6.0
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Major
>
> It is incredibly painful to take the XML output, pretty print it to make it
> readable, and find out that this has mangled the significant whitespace
> inside element values.
> In general, since whitespace within simple values is considered fungible in
> XML, we have to protect whitespace that is truly part of the DFDL infoset.
> I think CDATA bracketing is preferable to replacing whitespace characters
> with XML escaping like &#x20;
