A) If you don't care about the layout of the text e.g. the introduction
of line endings & tabs etc then wrt text that is true.
If you do care about the layout then it would be best to have a <text>
</text> child which contains a markup/layout dialect such as XHTML.
B) The ADL is pretty printed & deals with this by in effect using the
same markup as an XML attribute:
e.g.:
["at0002"] = <
description = <"*">
text = <"Procedure started date time">
C) Yes Oxygen can/does do pretty print. It is a std part of XML & has
been since before 1.0.
e.g.
