Oki, but why don't you print the element as you go along, whitout bathering about the indention and then when the operation is completed let a loop parse through the tree and indent it as you wich....
I think it is more of a hazzel to create a sax pretty printer.... but then again it is always nice to get all the work done at once. (but on the other hand again, I think a such a tool already exist that fixes a XML file so it look good.... but I can't remember it's name right now...)
