So we are currently handling it correct for XML whitespace. Now,
we could catch those characters() events anyway, and test all
individual chars to see if they are classified as whitespace in
XML, and if not, throw a little warning...
I may be wrong here, but I think Xerces does that (i.e., this is
done at a layer lower than FOP)--it probably tosses out
insignificant whitespace so FOP wouldn't even get those character()
calls.
Wrong indeed. All whitespace characters MUST be reported by any
compliant XML parser. If that wasn't the case, then we wouldn't have
had to talk so much about trailing and leading whitespace removal in
blocks and inlines... :-)
Cheers,
Andreas
