As you can see in Case 1 the parser has picked up the line breaks. Yet I
would have thought the XML structures of case 1 and case 2 were equivalent.
I put these two cases to two other tools (IE5, WebL) and they appear to
treat the two cases as if they were the same XML - though that is no
guarantee that those tools follow the spec.
Any ideas on this? Is parse-xml true to the XML spec or is it a bug?
