Comment (by jbzdak):
Whitespace around tags is indeed siginificant --- technically following
documents *are* different
{{{
<foo></foo>
}}}
and
{{{
<foo>
</foo>
}}}
however for most practical purposes this difference is insignificant, as
most of XML-based formats ignore whitespace altogether (like html).
Despite that I think that in unittesting framework we should rather assume
pessimistic case that whitespace does matter.
