Perhaps we should allow for text being trimmed when reading in? Something along the lines of http://dom4j.org/apidocs/org/dom4j/io/SAXReader.html#setStripWhitespaceText(boolean) but controlling the trimming behaviour? Then we could claim idempotence: T(T(x)) = T(x) where x is any admissible xml document and T is the transformation of reading the doc in and writing it out unchanged. This is a reasonable requirement for any roundtripping application, IMO. Jan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
