No. The XML files are exists already. The task is... Load the 
contents/file to a TObject descendant, modify the data in the object(s) 
then build up XMLs from it a save back to file(s). Without lost any 
"TDOMNode.TextContent".

There is nothing wrong with that,


agreed...


in fact I am aware of a typesetting system which uses XML as input,
and if you enclose your input text between certain tags ( or )
you expect that the blanks between those tags are preserved.


true but the given examples do not show that...

you expect that the blanks between those tags are preserved.

The W3C standards, IMO, don't tell anything about what a certain parser
etc. should do to XML content (IMO, not much), there are not many 
restrictions

(<, of course, should be ) ... attributes are different, of course.

Kind regards
